Some of you may know, and some of you may not, but there is a blog I am quite fond of written by a fabulous girl I have the pleasure of being friends with. Dream, Delight, Inspire has the most amazing images, ideas and a unique quirkiness that I just can’t get enough of.

Once a week, the divine Miss K compiles a list for ‘Things I love Thursdays’  an inspirational concept and a chance to take some time out and remember the simple pleasures that make us smile on a day to day basis. It might be as simple as ice cream on a hot day to being given the opportunity to shine at work but Miss K’s weekly list reminds us that the best things in life are often free (or so small they pass us by).

I know I am a massive complainer at the best of times, so perhaps if we all took a leaf out of Miss K’s book and tried to be grateful for the small things, the world would be a happier place.

So in honour of January being the start of the new decade (and in honour of my finding things to be positive about in light of the state of my home water situation) here is a list of the simple pleasures I find in my day to day life.

– Mum making a roast because I came to stay for a few nights.
– Going for a walk with my two younger brothers.
– Having Dad wake me up two minutes before the alarm goes off.
– Finishing a day at work where I felt like I made a contribution.
– Having time to read on the train or tram.
– Twitter.
– People thinking I’ve had my hair done when I only changed shampoo.
– High heels.
– Walking in the rain.
– My apartment in the city.
– Double stamps on my coffee card.
– My childhood bedroom.

Thank you Miss K for your gorgeous images, words and sentiments!
