falling asleep to a thunderstorm, cosying underneath the covers listening to the pitter patter of rain fall against the windows
when someone notices your haircut
opening the first pages of a book or magazine and breathing in that new-book smell
when you catch someone looking at you with a glance that makes the world pause and takes away all the breath that's left in you
when a stranger smiles at you or holds the door open for you
browsing through digital photos from months or even years ago and finding a real gem that makes you smile just thinking back to that wonderful moment
finding out the name or artist of the song you heard on radio ages ago and loved
sipping caramelatte whilst people-watching from a cosy spot inside a trendy cafe-restaurant
finding, trying on and purchasing buttery soft leather shoes that fit like a glove and walk like you're barefoot
watching Disney classics in your pyjamas
public holidays that fall on a Saturday or Sunday - who doesn't love long weekends?
when someone stops you in the middle of the street to tell you how lovely you smell
pulling out the tray and rejoicing because those macarons have
feet! Yessss!
making a purchase, whether big or small, and having the salesperson walk
around the counter to hand you your goods
the moment you wake up and realise it's not Friday but
Saturday morning. . .
when a (gentle)-man offers you his seat on the bus
feeling pretty & being told you are
having the whole row of seats to yourself at the cinemas
being at home when the postie visits to drop off one
(or several) parcels
running your fingers over perfume bottles in the morning as you decide which scent to apply
pretty handwriting
coming home to familiar, loving faces
having a good dream, and remembering it
the first mangos of summer
