I'm joining in with my friends in the blogging world, and starting a project called 52 weeks of happy. I've followed my friend Gillian's posts in this project, and I thought I would have a go. Something to keep me on my toes.
Each week, I'll be posting 4-5 simple things that have brought joy and happiness into my life. I don't take many photos when I'm out and about, so forgive me if these are not picture rich posts. All the same, I want to try it.
So, here is my list for week 1, (w/c 1st January).
- a lovely walk on Brean Down with my partner. I was amused by these sideways-growing trees. The poor things have been battered by the wind off the west coast.
- I gave my good friend and writing partner an unexpected birthday present, something very simple, but something I'd thought out and knew she would like. The smile on her face when she opened it made my week.
- We were desperate to move out, but suddenly, upon viewing another area, and discovering an absolute dump, we decided to appreciate the one we have now. I've got lots of things in mind for my flat, and we started with the lounge. We bought a coffee table (7 months over due) and a little decoration to go with it. I hardly recognise it as my lounge anymore. And yes, I was embarrassed by how it looked before. This is a vast improvement!!
The ceiling is still dripping from the recent leak and ceiling collapse, hence the bucket. All the same, this is now our clutter free zone, and it's so peaceful to sit on the sofa now.
I'm on a project/designing/crafting roll, and I'm so excited.
How was your first week of 2013?
Jen started such a great project, and I'm glad you've joined in too. It's a really nice way to celebrate the small things. That walk looks bracing, but very beautiful.
