0111: RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

It is so nice when you have your hands full and you drop something, and someone picks it up for you. Or when the door is held open for you. Or when someone makes you a tea.

But as nice as it is to be on the receiving end of these 'acts', there is a certain satisfaction you get when you perform them. "If we all perform one act of kindness a day, we might just set the world in the right direction."

So as Ellen DeGeneres always says at the conclusion of her show "be kind to one another."

0110: COOKING SHOWS

 

I love cooking shows. The presenters are always so happy to be cooking and you can see how much they love their job (and food!), and it makes you happy, too. Cooking shows are just good when you can't watch something you actually have to watch - do you get what I mean? Well anyway, the happiness is just infectious.

P.s. I love you James Reeson and you too Heston!!

:)

0109: BLANKETS

Crochet and fuzzy blankets, "blankies", recovery blankets, cuddly blankets, comfort blankets and the list goes on. Multi-purpose objects of endless wonder. And you can build forts out of them.

0108: BARBIE MOVIES

They've really changed since the first one I saw, but hey. They still have the power to make you smile start to finish. Barbie and Ken's unbreakable love, Barbie's integrity and kindness and lots and lots of sparkles and pink.

0107: CLEAN LINEN

There's nothing like your bed awaiting you, all freshly made. I know that for me, I usually climb into a nuclear bomb site, throw some random stuff on the floor and arrange the doona or blankets into some sort of covering on top of me.

But Sunday night every three weeks...Clean sheets, clean pyjamas, clean hair. How wonderful is that clean feeling.

P.s. I wash my hair every two or three days, but I make my hair-wash coincide with the sheet change. Same with pyjamas. Just so you don't think that I'm a grot.

0106: OLD PEOPLE STILL IN LOVE

Love conquers all!! Even time.

I think in a time when marriages can span days in their single digits and divorces happen daily, it is so important to have these troopers around us. If you can live with someone, and love them when all their hair has turned grey and/or fallen out, their skin is all wrinkly and their brain doesn't quite work like it used to, then you have won the gold medal of awesome.

For those of us still in our youth and single, seeing old people in love is empowering, heart-warming and just wonderful.

Love is a many splendid thing.

0105: CRAFTERNOONS

Yummy snacks, quality time with buddies, scissors and glue everywhere, glitter in weird places and accidentally bejewelled furniture.
