Beeswax candles- they smell lovely
Cats on a cold day- extra cuddly body heat mongers.

Let me think about the people who I care about the most. And how when they fail or disappoint me, I still love them, I still give them chances, and I still see the best in them. Let me extend that generosity to myself.” — Ze Frank

it's me again...

getting lost in a really good book

wearing sparkly eyeshadow or body glitter
feeling pretty

A star I made that hangs on my computer desk above my computer, it's all different pretty colors, blue, pink, purple. It's so pretty.
I made it in crafts when I was in the phosp once. It is just a happy thing.

There's a little tabby cat from somewhere in my neighbourhood, likes to curl up in a pile of leaves beside my garage in the morning; catches the sun in that spot after 09:00. Grooms. Stretches. Back to sleep.
I add new dry leaves to that spot after work; nice to see the cat sorting it all properly the next morning...

A greeting card from my 5 year old niece where she wrote in it I Love You in it. I keep it on my computer desk. It's a happy thing, makes me feel loved.

the little girl sitting behind me on the bus last week singing about how it was going to be a happy new year and a special new year and christmas was a long time ago.
i have no idea if she was singing an existing song cos i sure didn't recpgnise it, or if she was making up a song about a happy new year.
it was adorable.

The colourful bead bracelet my 5 year old niece made me out of a bead kit I gave her, it is precious to me, I keep it on my computer desk when I'm not wearing it. It makes me happy.
