10 Good Things Right Now

Spring tulips.

Doggie playdates.

Making costumes for a themed birthday party.

Kitties napping on piles of clean linens.

A delivery of cinnamon herbal tea in the mail.

Red velvet cake.

Rocking on the garden swing at Katie’s mum’s house.

Bush walks at our new favourite park.

Having our kind neighbour unexpectedly mow our front lawn for us.

Pancakes.

What’s making you happy right now? We’d love if you’d share your smiley list with us!

    What a lovely idea and plenty of happy things.
    My list would include seeing all my family at my Granddad’s 90th birthday party, beautiful weather for a dear friend’s wedding, talking to my cats, coffee and going for walks

    Planting bulbs this morning before the rain came, sitting in a comfy chair having a cup of tea in my favourite mug, my man cooking stir fry for dinner. Happy woman. C.x

      Those are all beautiful things! Tea always tastes so much better from a favourite mug, don’t you think?

    Lovely list Katie and Reuben. These things are making me happy:

    The sun coming up earlier each day
    Spending time with my family at my Dad’s 60th up in Bundaberg
    Watching everyone gobble up the red velvet birthday cake that I made for Dad
    My ragdoll kitty giving me cuddles
    Having our lovely neighbour looking after our fur babies while we were up in Bundy
    Relaxing on the couch on a Sunday afternoon together with my boy
    Watching the movie ET last night taking me back to my childhood
    Sleeping in until 7am this morning

    Fall fairs, sunsets, multicolour sunflowers and ripe pumpkins.
    It also makes me happy that it’s Spring where you are and Autumn here in Canada.
