Yesterday we were walking with the sun warming our faces and the leaves were raining down on us. I really wanted to hold my arms out and spin! Honestly! Do you ever feel like that? Do you ever get the urge to grab a passer by and dance as you're walking with your head phones in. Do you ever smile to the family that are playing together amidst the gorgeous sound of their children's laughter? Do you catch snowflakes on your tongue? Do you sit on the grass and make daisy chains? Or is it just me?! I love simple things. I also love travelling and having a mobile phone but I don't ignore those simple things that we take for granted. There's enough badness casting shadows in this world so we have to appreciate the small stuff. I'm going to share my top 20 list of simple things I appreciate and hope you share yours too,
So there you have it, I'm a bit of a day dreamer (My husband would say a big daydreamer!) and I'm always looking around. Time goes by so quickly and already I miss collecting leaves with my daughter and making collages, I miss counting snails as we walked to school. I miss those simple things but I'm glad I appreciated them. I'm easily pleased and I'm quite likely to kick leaves at you if you're walking with me in the autumn, it's got to be done! This time of year always bring my husbands wise words of "you're going to kick a dog turd one of these days" every time I deliberately shuffle my way through the fallen leaves. I don't care. So come on, indulge me, comment below with your most cherished simple things, who know's, maybe I'm not the only one cooing over a butterfly as it flutters past my head!

Very thinly sliced onion. I really mean it. Uncooked. Raw on a salad. Also love dark chocolate with brandy

What a lovely list :-) I can relate to a lot of these! Love the counting snails thing....my daughter used to count caterpillars, only she couldn't pronounce it so used to say "patterpillars". On my list would be snuggling up with the kids in the evening watching a movie or each lost in our books. Or just sitting by the lakeside, taking in the views and the sound of the water rippling against the shore x

Thanks for your comment Rachel. It's nice to hear that your daughter used to count 'patterpillars'. For us, counting and looking at things on our walk to school made it more exciting! Your simple things sound great, who doesn't like to snuggle and watch a film! and I completely understand your peaceful moments by the lake, special moments. x
