Little things that make me happy

Little things that make me happy

As I’ve said - many, many times at this point - this year my focus is entirely on me. Selfish? Undoubtedly. Necessary? Absolutely. I've mentioned it before but, at the risk of repeating myself, my time is not renewable, everyday that number runs down, so, as fatalistic as this is, if I don’t care about it or if it doesn't make me happy, I’m not spending my time on it, ‘kay?

Now I realise that it’s not realistic to only do things that make me happy, and despite appearances I'm not a terribly selfish person, self-involved sometimes but mostly not selfish, so I can accept that sometimes I’ll have to do things I don’t want to, like getting the bus to work, but what I can do is incorporate little things into my day to day that make me happy. Here’s some little things that make me disproportionately happy.
