    What a fantastic list! So many of these things make me happy too. Also clicking with someone new, lavender pillow spray, climbing into a made bed with freshly washed sheets, a good milk chocolate bar with sea salt, the high after a great workout (not enough of those lately, or workouts period), falling asleep beside my youngest and when the bus driving sees you running to catch the bus and waits for you. xox

    I totally agree, it’s the simple things in life that makes us truly happy. Bicycling through the park is one of the things that brings me joy.
