I cannot believe at the moment how happy I seem to become over little things, maybe the turning point has finally come from the months of being in a bit of a large hole. I have given myself little things to do, well some have been quite big for me lol, and I have been getting through them slowly but surely. I have still been sorting out all our household belongings and personal belongings and now mostly everything has its place. If its broken, crap or not liked its gone, either inthe dustbin or to someone else who wants it. Half of me thinks this is me getting prepared for hopefully a move and the other half just wants all the crap out of my life. Ive been using up all my old bits of makeup and finally all those silly bottles of stuff you buy to try have gone. Perfume is going the same way too, if I have perfume now I wear it I dont save it for best, sadly that has meant my Vivienne Westwood Boudoir has now gone, I had my last spray today. I feel sort of sad cos everytime I spray it on it reminds me of my time spent in Spain and Gibraltar, Im hoping that I get some new stuff for my birthday. In my head I quite fancy Jo Malone Cassis and Fig or maybe Lime Basil and Mandarin, if not Im quite happy to stick to my Clarins Eau Dynamisante (hope thats the right spelling cos I cant be bothered to go upstairs to look at the bottle or Google it).
One of the things Ive been wanting to do is to get my eggs from a farm just on the outskirts of town, and today I did it. I actually saw the chickens, ducks and geese waddling and strutting around the yard and I came back with 30 eggs, for some unknown reason it made me so happy. I never ever buy eggs that arent Free Range but these eggs are something special and they tasted absolutely gorgeous, they arent quite as cheap as the supermarket eggs but the feeling I got after buying them was so much better cos I know 100% they are Free Range! I also went to the library, ordered a couple of books and brought back a couple of books, why I havent been for years I do not know, now I cannot wait to get stuck in to 'The Battersea Park Road to Paradise' lol.
In all I think these little things we do keeps us happy and we tend to forget about them, in the UK our lives are so rush rush rush all the time and I think we really need to go back to basics. Eat less but eat better and get rid of all the crap that clutters up our lives. Also I think we need to rekindle relationships a bit, especially if they need a little kick start cos you never know where all this may lead.
