60 Simple Joys in Life

 

We recently wrote about finding the simple joys in life and now that we’re knee deep in winter in the southern hemisphere, if feels like a good time to share a list of simple joys that may help people through the dreary winter.

This is a (not exhaustive) list of simple joys in life that make me smile.

  • Calling Mum and telling her about my day
  • Eating Mum’s food, cakes, biscuits…really anything form Mum
