I think it’s fair to say I have been dealt more than a fair share of rubbish throughout my life, which I try not to dwell on, so it’s always the little things in life which I try to reflect on that are so important and keep me going. I know I am wildly obsessed with clothes and fashion in general, and wearing something I have wanted for a long time honestly does make me happy, but the best things in life, which are usually free, are what make the days special to me. So, I thought it might be interesting to list a few things that make me smile and happy inside when times are tough. What are some of the things that inspire you to keep going?
- The love that I get from my pets, it’s priceless and they are part of the family.
- On a Sunday when my mum cooks a roast dinner, the smell and warmth radiates through the house.
- Simply holding hands with my wonderful boyfriend.
- Appreciating nature in the summer time while listening to the animal sounds.
- A smile or a nice gesture from a stranger. It restores my faith in humanity.
- Seeing years of hard work finally paying off.
- Getting really involved in a great book.
- That warming feeling in my stomach when I help someone out.
- Snuggling up and watching a romance movie.
- The way my boyfriend carries our camera and takes my photos without question.
- Listening to beautiful songs and expressing myself through singing.
- The butterflies in my tummy when my boyfriend and I first got together.
- Being near fresh water, like a stream or a lake.
- Tidying up and organising my bedroom after it’s gotten really messy.
- Seeing couples out and about exchanging gestures of love.
- Getting a back massage from my boyfriend when my back always hurts.
- Daydreaming about the crazy and interesting ideas I always have.
- And last, but not least, reading the lovely comments from all of you.

Thats lovely things to say Lorna, and pets you cannot beat. The love from a pet is priceless, the warmth from them being on your lap is wonderful. I too love the smell of a lovely roast dinner, I am glad all these things make you happy x

This is such a lovely sweet post! 🙂 I can really relate to some of the things that make you smile, especially random smiles from strangers & back massages from my boyfriend – I always have a sore back too!
A few other things that make me smile are:
Cute kids, they say the funniest things.
Seeing an elderly couple holding hands (awww).
Exploring a new country.
Laughing until I cry.
The feeling of sand beneath my toes.
Private jokes with friends.
Meeting new people and making new friends!
Acting like a dork with my boyfriend.
I also love reading blog comments too 🙂
