- spending time with my mother
- the summer heat
- my new dress, so blue it reminds me of the ocean
- strawberries with chocolate ice-cream
- our friendly street
- evening bicycle rides
- the flowers blooming throughout the neighbourhood
- silly videos made by my best friends
- having a book in one's bag for a long tube journey
- our darling cats
- last minute beach shopping
- being at home with my family
I am so grateful for the plentiful small but beautiful things in my life which make me so happy. It's the little things.
Those roses, in all their varying hues, are perfectly lovely. And keeping a book in your bag for any and all occasions? Sounds like Rory Gilmore to me :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. No, I've never had lavender cupcakes before. I've been looking up recipes to try, so I'll tack that on the list!
Haha, I hadn't thought of that...I welcome the comparison!
