Pick Me Ups Pt. 2

A while back I wrote a blog post with a list of things that feel good. After a great response, I figured a 'Pt. 2' was in order.

A list of things that feel great:

  • Strawberry picking.
  • A walk in the woods - sunshine peeping through the trees.
  • Having a special place all to yourself to go to when you need to get away. 
  • Reading the book that's been sat on your shelf for too long. 
  • The first snow fight of the year.
  • Swimming.
  • Time spent with your siblings.
  • Learning.
  • Beating your personal best.
  • Finding trinkets & money in the jeans you were about to wash. 
  • Family cooking. 
  • Deserted beaches.
  • The smell of the lake right after it rains.
  • Snuggling in to a giant towel after a shower. 
  • Taking photos. 
  • Waking up in time for sunrise.
  • Searching for shells in the sand. 
  • That feeling after a workout/run.
  • The smell of freshly cut grass.
  • Knowing that all is well.
  • Finding a starfish at the beach. 
  • The sound of wind in the trees. 
  • The sound of the ocean at high tide.
  • Meeting new people and having them become good friends faster than you thought possible. 
  • Finding common ground with someone you were unsure about.
  • Knowing and feeling that some person really likes you as you are.
  • When the weather is just warm enough for you to eat outside.
  • Listening to the falling rain drops. 
  • Watching the dew drops on flower petals early in the morning. 
  • Latte art.
  • Compliments and praise.
  • Taking photos. 
  • Searching for shells in the sand. 
  • Rekindling old friendships.
  • Knowing you taught someone something valuable.
  • Walking barefoot on wet grass.
  • Building a fire on the beach.
  • Knowing you did your best and it bloody well paid off.

Happy 10

10 things that have made me happy this week!

  1. The sound of heavy rain on the roof and windows. It’s been constant this week, and I’ve not minded a bit.
  2. Assisting with essential Christmas shopping. I'm often put in charge of present and card buying, and this year I enjoyed it more than last.
  3. Reading my Auntie's blog. I hadn't known about it until a few days ago, she has now given me even more inspiration to carry on writing!
  4. Getting the house ready for my brother, Max and his friend, Didi's arrival. He's been away from home for a while now, although sometimes stressful, it's always a delight to have him back.
  5. A fruit bowl piled high with clementines. Oh so juicy!
  6. Being lucky enough to have a few close friends and family members I can really open up to when things get a little rough.
  7. Making lists. I'm not so secretly a complete perfectionist and lists keep me organised.
  8. Frank Sinatra's Christmas album - It's less than a week until Christmas and I've over played it. Still, his sweet, smooth voice is charming to say the least.
  9. Handing in my English Language coursework (early might I add!) - I couldn't be more ecstatic that it's out of the way and I can have a swell break.
  10. Sparking a smile on my Mum's face. Christmas can be a difficult and reflective time for us both, so seeing her face light up when I tell a highly embarrassing joke is lovely.
