Remember the days of lockdown when our daily 1-hour walk was how we got those little joys in life?

Collectively baking banana bread with everyone on Insta, attempting to do yoga in the lounge then failing and eating pizza instead whilst binging on whatever series was the talk of the town. What a strange time that was.

But, it did teach me something…

Finding joy in appreciating the small stuff. For me that has meant my first sip of coffee in the morning, seeing friends over brunch, enjoying the daily dog walk and watching the leaves change with the seasons. Things I might have either taken for granted or perhaps overlooked altogether. I just did them without truly feeling grateful.

Life might be back to normal but those small joys still remain so I wanted to share some recent moments that have bought me large amounts of joy…
