It’s the little things

What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?

Just feeling fit and healthy feels good and  something to be happy and grateful for. And that goes for Patch too!

The freedom to do as I please is an absolute thrill and delight, every day.

Simple pleasures of a lovely breakfast and coffee.

A walk with said dog, fresh air, exercise, light, and sometimes even sunshine out in the natural world.

I love putting food out for the birds and watching them come day to feed and bathe.

My world is small now. My life is peaceful and quiet. It’s just the way I like it.

More going out than coming in

I’ve got to that interesting stage in my life in many ways amazing. The wisdom that lets itself in is quite something.

I’m sure most of us have heard someone say ‘ knowing what I know now’ in respect to having the ability to go back in time and relive some of those years.

Yeah, if only in hindsight, we could live those lives differently. I may have chosen to be less generous. But hey.

And yet it wouldn’t have brought me to where I am now. And if we’re comfortable in our skins, we can be grateful for those experiences that led us to this point. Can’t we?

Funding our lives is a bit of a challenge, it has to be said…admitted at some stage. If I am going to be transparent and authentic with you.

Patch and his needs cost me the earth. But what he gives me on return is truly priceless.

If push came to shove, I’d sell my soul for him.

Money cannot buy true humbleness. Can it?
