It’s Tuesday, and instead of sharing a recipe, today I am sharing a little sunshine in the only way I know how. I want to give you some of the ways I bring happiness in to my day in the hope that you too will be inspired to spread a little cheer.
21 Ways of Finding Joy in Every Day
1. Getting in to bed with freshly cleaned linen (is there another feeling like it?)
2. Using home-grown herbs, fruit or vegetables in your cooking
3. Baking a cake
4. Smiling at someone, and maybe receiving a smile in return
5. Seeing a cute animal, either in person or via media
6. Taking a walk and listening to the world around you
7. Tidying a draw or cupboard that really needs it
8. Donating to charity (money or unwanted items)
9. Running an errand for someone else
10. Paying someone a compliment (and not expecting one in return)
11. Saying hello to your neighbour, especially if you know they don’t see many people

14. Admiring nature in person or via media
15. Making a change to your lifestyle to benefit the environment
