Little luxuries

I will never stop being grateful for all of the things that I have, and recently I have spent a little time with a few people who have reminded me of this - not just my home and the things that I fill it with, but mostly my family, our health, our values and our dreams for the future. I am also very thankful for the little things that make up my day, and make most days very happy.
So, today I am grateful for:
Homemade lemon curd on toast!
The daffodils on the windowsill starting to come out
More things to send off to charity! Add to this some of Ivy's old clothes and an air mattress that deflates itself for today's bag of 40.
Having the energy once again to take care of my home and the people in it and have clean surroundings again!

I am also grateful for the washing machine and tumble that on a grey grizzly day like today has allowed me to wash and dry all of our linens and towels. I am grateful for the slow cooker which is full of bubbling casserole, and the bread I'm about to bake for tonight's tea.
Ivy is sleeping but seems a lot better today. All is well. Today is a good day.
Wishing this much peace and happiness for everyone.

    I am happy for you Jess, enjoy the rest of your day. I have slowly pottered about and have filled a large bag for the Charity Shop, parcelled up some paper templates to post off to a bloggy friend and removed a large bag of rubbish from the sewing room. I can now see the work top and the floor.

      Ah we're both getting there then! I've had a couple days slack that I'll have to catch up on for my 40 bags in 40 days as Ivy has been poorly. It's a lovely feeling knowing that I no longer have to care for all of those things!

      Apologies for my terrible phone spelling, it's all gone a bit wonky!

      It's something I've definitely thought of a lot more since we bought our house and left the city. When you starting noticing the little things that make your life lovely more and more appear, and it's suddenly quite hard to be grumpy!
