oooooooo loads of things honey. Seeing our puppy Jade running about crazy in the back garden wagging her tail and chasing one of her toys, smiling that way only she can, with her tongue hanging out the side of her mouth,and her ears wiggling up and down, adorable :-)
As @Supacase says above, having spent my day off cleaning the house from top to bottom (even with all the breaks I have to take in between tasks, because of the pain…. bloody arthritis), but being able to look at each room, the bathroom all sparkling, with fresh towels all laid out, kitchen all squeeky clean and sparkly, bedroom hoovered, and lovely fresh bedding on, even wee Jade’s bed all freshly made up (she has little blankies and cushions too). The living room spotless and all dusted, Jade’s toys tidied back into her toy box, and floor brushed and large rug hoovered. It’s a wonderful feeling and just makes me feel great :-)
Nice weather does it in a heartbeat. The sun comes out and on goes my washing machine. The simple sight of line after line, after line of clean laundry gently blowing in the warm breeze makes my heart dance, and when you bring it all in….. the smell!!!! gorgeous!!!
Having a whole day ahead of me where there is nothing to do, nothing I have to catch up with, housework all done, no doctors or hospital appointments, no shift at work, no reason to have to go out of the house. Just Jade, Wallace (our budgie) and me, and a day I can spend doing anything I want to do. It’s a rare thing, but ooooooo it’s wonderful when it happens. Tomorrow is such a day, since I’ve done my housework today, and so tomorrow I’m thinking about having a “pamper” day. Nice shower when I get up, into fresh jammies, maybe treat myself to a face mask, maybe fluther for a while, settle down on the sofa with Jade and maybe watch a couple of the Swedish Wallander stories….. bliss :-)
The one thing that constantly makes me feel like a million dollars though, no matter what kind of day I’ve had, no matter how tired I feel, or what kind of shift I’ve had at work, the oe constant wonderful blessing I have in my life is hubby. He can make a bad day joyful just by smiling his beautiful smile and wrapping his arms round me for the best hug ever. He’s the hug champion of the world in my book :-) @erichw1504 GQ it’s cheered me up just answering it <hugs> xx
