Thank Full for those small stories

Being thankful for the small stories of my day.

๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’š
The precious moment when the cat decides that she could share a corner of the bed,
then falls asleep so soundly  I can hear her gently snore.๐Ÿ˜ธ

Keeping the house warm as the woodburner crackles away using up waste wood from a broken fence.

The scent of a candle as it fills the air with a warm fragrance of cinnamon and ginger.

Having time to play with the loom.

Eating cheese and mushroom toasties.

Arranging a gift of yellow roses into a glass jug.

Baking a marmalade fruit cake and a tray of Silverdale gingerbread brownies for my man.

Thankful for being warm and dry and inside.☔๐Ÿ’จ

Small stories making up a large part of my day.

  9. Thoroughly enjoyed this "happy moments" post. It makes me feel a little guilty that I don't pay more attention more to the simple things of everyday life. Those "catch your breath" moments when we realise that life is good. keep well. Amanda x
