A Little Bit of Happiness

Yesterday on my blog post Weaver commented on the sad things going on at the moment.

I thought that perhaps today's post should instead be about some of the little things that make me happy.

In no particular order...


Driving home after my weekly volunteering shift at Hospice,  feeling satisfied that I have been busy and useful, and admiring the beautiful green hills on the journey. 

Sitting beside a warm, crackling fire on a cold, wet and windy day with a mug of hot, strong coffee, looking out at the sea and the castle.

Seeing the first snowdrops in flower here and there in the bare winter garden.

My lovely, kind, generous and supportive sister and her two beautiful grandchildren,  who I look forward to spending time with over Easter.

Having a few good friends to join us for food and conversation. 

Being reasonably fit and healthy and able to still enjoy travelling to interesting places.


I feel happy just thinking about these now.

    It seems that you have lots of things that make you happy JayCee. Making plans for holidays and rock concerts keeps me happy.

      I hope storm Ciara leaves it alone.

      Sometimes we all need to be reminded of life's simple pleasures.

    You must tell us about the castle sometime. I'd love to live beside the sea - I'm at the bottom of a little range of hills so are satisfied with that.

      Thanks Cathy. I will make a note to post something about our castle. Hills are good too!

    It's good to count your blessings regularly - we all tend to be very blessed in ways we could just take for granted.

    The views from your windows sounds fab! I have the view of the sheltered accommodation block of flats from my living room window; and the passing traffic....
