    Books, good food, a good laugh, and my best friend. These are things that come to mind straight away, but there are certainly many others!

    Helping others, having friendly interactions with people (online and offline), birds landing on your outstretched hand, when a happy dog looks up at you with their happy smiles, when a cat comes to see you after the owner says “She’s nervous around strangers”,… A solid sleep and feeling refreshed in the morning.

    A good coffee, a cold drink on a hot day, when a seed has sprouted in my garden, a hefty burrito, a heavy thunderstorm, sunshine after days of rain, the cooling 5PM breeze on a stinking hot day, ibuprofen working on a headache, when you go shopping and one of the first things you try on fits really well so you don’t have to shop for hours, the first run down the hill (snow), when you come across a steal of a deal on something you’ve been wanting,… Too many to name.

    What doesn’t bring me joy is when I need cold water from the tap and hot water comes out, or if the empty toilet roll hasn’t been replaced. 💀
