Little gifts that keep me going (in no particular order…):

Clean clothes after a quick shower.
A freshly made salad with lots of different veggies.
Frost that makes a pattern and melts in the sun.
Dog who likes to sleep on my lap the best.
Crisp air and warm hands.
Friends who talk about what they love.
That first cup of tea in the morning.
The second cup of tea in the morning.
Okay, every single cup of tea, ever…
Long walks, especially if the possibility of crunching on autumn leaves is involved.
Chocolate eaten when no one is looking (I swear it tastes better if it’s eaten in secret!)
A life-changing operation that gave me back my life.
Earrings that bring back memories sweet and sour.
Daffodils and tulips and crocus and snowdrops…
A warm bed at night.
Family, my treasure.
A book that engulfs me.
A friend who listens and then says, ‘Enough about you, it’s my turn…’

How can my heart not sing?

Love, February
