Waking up in the morning to find you still have a pulse
Hanging out with positive people who support you
Going for a walk or run
Great food
Good bullet proof coffee
Listening to your favourite music
Smelling freshly cut roses
Meditation or Mindfulness, or both
Trying out something new
Joining a group of like-minded people
A walking group, a book club, a fishing club
Spending time with your children, if you have any
Finding a life partner who loves you for the person you are
Taking an occasional risk
obviously you’ve “opened a can of worms” – sorry, I love the fishing! a great “reason” to stand next to the lake or stream, and breath in all that is Good, and soak it in with the eyes as well. MUCH more than a taste bud can do over a cup of coffee. I like the Mindfulness as well. nice blog, I appreciate your reminder. Maybe you should have added, “reading an unknown friend’s POSITIVE thoughts on Life” as a reminder Life is Good! be well, your unknown friend, Momentummikey 🙂

My contribution – Immersing yourself in things that you’re passionate about
This is something that’s in my control – unfortunately most things you’ve said in your post are out of my control eg. can’t smell or taste properly at all …. everything tastes terrible! 😦 , plus have lost all my friends bar a few that are always too busy with work & kids etc plus live toooo far away, plus too fatigued to be able to drive & attend groups like quilting group (not to mention that with a large group there is tooo much sensory stimulus that overwhelms me …. do you know what I mean?) So basically …….. “if it’s meant to be, then it’s up to ME” 🙂

I’d give fishing a big miss too Sam! But one coffee each morning is good for me! My husband is not arriving in Auckland until Friday, he’s there for something called ‘Meatstock’ as he does the advertising and marketing for Weber bbqs Australia and NZ. Have a good day ⭐️⭐️⭐️
