Feeling happy

  

One of my favourite morning experiences is listening to my husband reading snippets from the news. Today the Daily Mail featured an article entitled “Declutter, hang washing outdoors and practice good posture: The eight steps to feeling happier immediately revealed“. 

Read as a whole the suggestions make sense. Listening to the headings being read out led me to create an alternate reality in my head. When I heard “Invite a lonely person for tea”, I immediately thought where did I put that list of lonely people, I knew they would come in handy one day. Oh, there’s not many on the list, time to start recruiting!

Last roses

 

The autumn chill creeps 

Slowly into shadows 

And evenings come earlier.

Bright daytime stars

Remind me of what was

And is to come.
