Oh I adore this!! I believe these fall under the “glimmers” category, as in they are small moments in a day that bring complete joy. They’re everywhere, it’s just about noticing them. Love your list and I most definitely will make the effort to make my own over the coming days. Have a wonderful week Molly :)
This is such a fabulous idea. I loved reading your list and many resonate with me. I think I might try and do the same - I know I will find, like you, it's the simple small joys within an ordinary week that will be on my list too x
Beautiful post Molly! I have noted what brings me bursts of joy and happiness in the past, and it’s almost always the simplest of things. Your post is a good reminder to do this again, and your posts will definitely make my list :)
So true! This has been my experience too. It's the small, everyday, simple things that bring me joy like drinking a good quality coffee, warm socks on a cold day, rainbows, the sheer indulgence of curling up with a good book, hugs from my loved ones, I could go on...
This is lovely, just back from a beautiful holiday at Loch Ness, it was easy to see the everyday joys there when relaxed and waking up to views of the loch. I am going to try this next week as I return to work and definitely need to find the wee joys in each day.
I love this, Molly! You've inspired me to do the same. I think it will be such a good reminder of all the good in the day to day that we sometimes let pass us by without notice.
What a wonderful idea! I think I might have to try this. As always, thank you for sharing. You’re always inspiring me to try something new or view life from a different perspective 🥰
This is beautiful, Molly! I've been trying to look for glimmers more often, but I love that you've kept note of yours! I'm definitely going to do that, thank you for the inspiration 🥰
Reading your list made me happy. I believe it's true that each day is filled with simple joys but we must be on the lookout or they will slip by unnoticed.
Happiness is elusive,I think. If you aim to search for it, you often won’t find it. As you highlight it’s the simple pleasures, the daily delights that create happiness in our lives, un-looked for and unbidden.
Charity shops and organic hot chocolate - this is my dream lazy Saturday set up 🍫 something so calming and peaceful about sipping on something sweet while have a lazy pootle around the shops. Love the idea for this post - so much beauty and joy to be found everywhere if only we take the time to look.

Yes socks bring me so much joy!

Yes, it will be interesting to compare your lists :)
Marion Milner explored this very idea and published a book about it in 1936 - A Life of One's Own. Looks like a new edition has come out this year....https://www.routledge.com/A-Life-of-Ones-Own/Milner/p/book/9781032757551?srsltid=AfmBOoruwUKesEvoOZj0VHNWpqc9HgaX1-jbpZCMj1_WlZIxew-5ffaQ

Rain on a tin roof and Clotheslines…little slices of heaven!! Reminders of my childhood!!

I'm so happy to hear that :)
Such a beautiful idea, thank you for sharing your joys with us! I will copy the idea and just started the list with ten simple joys for today.
How wonderful! :)
