Joy in the little...

“The small things of life were often so much bigger than the great things . . . the trivial pleasure like cooking, one's home, little poems especially sad ones, solitary walks, funny things seen and overheard.” 
― Barbara Pym.

• Shower gel/Body wash
• Fried plantain
• Making lists
• Rom Coms
• Miniatures
• The smell of a new book
• The sky the morning after a heavy downpour
• Shea butter
• Toblerone
• Curly, squiggly handwriting
• Mascara
• Cursive
• Coca-Cola
• Early morning coffee
• Danish tinned cookies
• My bookcase
• Cooking
• Reading
• Tea cups
• Long cold showers on hot days
• Vanilla ice cream
• Bear hugs
• Bougainvillea hedges
• Eternity moment/Eternity night
