30

Alrightey, so I have been cheating and skipping the days, 

things have been rocky in the past week and it has taken great effort to roll myself out of bed 

to face reality but like all the lows in life, days like these pass like waves--

we just have to try and stay afloat. 

30 simple things to love in life:

1.When the person on the side of me lets me go up the bus first

2. Innocent, adorable children who look at you with much fascination 

3.Thank yous.

4. Lilies that my housemate religiously gets for the flat, I love their strong scent

5. Waking up before the alarm goes off (you either get to 'snooze' or escape the annoying sound of the alarm)

6. When my favourite songs get played on the radio, or at a store

7. Being able to cross out everything on my To-Do-List (means I've been productive and have not been rolling around the carpet at home)

8. Feeling content after a meal-- and not too full that I feel sick. 

9. Desserts followed by a nice, hot cuppa tea.

10. Walking around town/people watching on a nice, sunny day.

11. When Busta (my friend's Yorkshire Terrier) makes my lap into his chair and sits on me in the car.

12.Big, sloppy puppy kisses from a tiny Busta.

13. Trips to the post office (I know, I'm weird. But I like getting things posted. And receiving post of course)

14. Miraculous money appearing in my bank account, even if it's just 2.36pounds of interest haha :P

15. Finding unexpected money in my pocket/ in the crevices of my bag when I need it the most.

16. Fresh air after being in the house for too long

17. Discovering a starry sky and a full moon when I'm walking up the hill to my house, which overlooks Brighton.

18. Dreams, I always look forward to them when I go to sleep no matter how weird they turn out to be.

19. Running after a bus, and getting there on time

20. Skyping with my niece, or hearing stories about her from my parents

21. Being able to make fun of life's situations rather than get upset over it

22. The buzz I get when people around me are happy

23. Living in my comfy Big T-shirts at home.
I don't care if I have guests they'll just have to bear with me and my T-Shirts.
24. The trail of nice smelling perfume when someone walks past
25. Reddish-orange autumn leaves and the sound of them crunching under my feet
26. Cushion pillows, big soft pillows, any kind of pillows.
27. Cotton candy clouds stamped against a blue sky with the occasional speck of birds and planes. There's nothing I love more than to lie on my back on Brighton beach, and cloud-gaze on a hot summer's day.
28. That weird yet comforting feeling you get when sticking your hand in a mount of uncooked rice/ flour.
29. Being able to forgive someone's mistakes and put differences aside
30. A genuine smile from the heart.

And so ends the 30-day journey to observe the little things in life that trigger happiness.
More than likely I will still continue with the project, albeit I will be updating less frequently.
I urge you to try it, start observing and note down things that make a difference in your day. You'll be surprised to find that sometimes, the most insignificant things are the ones that will make the biggest difference.
