live a simple, happy and inspired life

...and pretty much sums up how I feel about life :)

So I’m marking this one as ‘done’ to make way for other goals.

Tonight Damian and I grabbed some noodles and ate dinner at a local park next to a lake. There were a family of ducks there with 8 little baby ducks that were toooooo cute. It was simple and perfect.

Woodford reminded me how much I love hearing people speak about their stories, and things that they’re passionate about. Since then I’ve been downloading heaps of podcasts and find them so inspiring.

Sometimes I just feel so overwhelmingly happy I feel like it’s going to burst out of me. I just want to dance or run around or something. This has to be curbed when it happens at the video store or at work, but apart from that I think it’s all good :)

The life together that Damian and I have created makes me so, so happy.

Lately Dam and I have been opting to eat dinner at the table rather than in front of the TV, and have been having the best conversations. Big kinds of conversations, about what we’re working on, how we’re feeling, what we’re excited about and our hopes and dreams. It’s something that we’d neglected doing for awhile there as life got hectic and complicated. While we both have our own paths and lives, it’s during that time that we reconnect. I’m so lucky.

Reading an inspiring book first thing in the morning is so simple, yet can leave me feeling really positive about the day. Often I’ll read something that really makes me think, and I ponder and apply it throughout my day. (Often after waking Damian up to share my insight with him hehehe)

It makes me feel really happy when Damian and I listen to great music, cook dinner together and chat.

Tonight it was especially great because we made a yummy vegetarian cottage pie and had strawberries and icecream for dessert. Yum! What could possibly be better than that?

One of my most simple and treasured pleasures in life is sitting on my kitchen bench and talking on the phone with my bestie :)

My latest simple treat is organic dried apricots. They are so delicious and taste completely different to normal “sulphur dioxide” apricots. It’s been a simple change, and it makes me feel like I’m doing something nice for myself.
