Happy List

So, it turns out, it's simple. Isn't that funny? A sad kind of funny, because I don't know how it is these things seemed beyond reach.

They're so impossibly simple. Why did I never do them?

• dancing, anywhere
• sleeping in crisp fresh sheets
• being up early to see the sunrise
• staying in one house, not two
• cuddling
• talking over tea
• making cards instead of buying them
• scrunching up tayto crisps
• lying on a rug with my cat curled aginst me
• writing
• baths before bedtime
• sketching people, things, places I visit
• being touched, even accidentally

Get a notebook, a piece of paper, a napkin. Go somewhere quiet and jot down whatever it is you hear inside. This is the beginning of your list, and it is only for you. It can be added to, amended, crumpled up and refolded, over and over. Just carrying it with you transforms it into something else. A promise.

To do one thing a day, for you.
