Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.

How can I describe one simple thing that brings me joy? It’s an impossible task. There are so many!

And so I’ll list them for you, those that immediately come to mind, with comments where appropriate.

1. My grandchildren. Especially when they’re creatively naughty.
2. Chocolate
3. Birdsong , all manner of.
4. Cold water swimming, especially in my local Rockpool, followed later by steaming hot coffee.
5. Cooking over an open flame. Or cooking in general, especially with garlic.
6. Music, and especially rock, jazz, blues. Oh, did I mention classical? Ok then, all music.
7. Storms. The louder and more lightning / thunder filled, the better.
8. Chocolate. Oops
9. Red wine. No , make that All wine.
10. My last on this list , but not really. Writing. The joy of writing is palpable, I am transported to somewhere free, creative, wonderful.

A total salve and escape from the day to days in our crazy mixed up world.

Joy is to be found everywhere, you just have to seek it out.
