Similarly, as I approach my 40th next month, I'm finding the greatest delight in the simplest pleasures. In my case, it's walking the same route every day, watching how the landscaping changes with the seasons, and taking pictures of the beautiful flowers growing in other people's yards.
Less pressure, more simplicity = greater fulfilment. I particularly loved your anecdote about visiting the framers - experiences like that are definitely an antidote to the modern world!
Great post! I have also let go of the idea that an entire has to be great. There are so many things behind our control. However I have definitely told myself that I will focus more on those small ‘sunshine moments’. I think we need that now more than ever!
Well, what a most welcome piece! Thank you.
Lessness is at the core of my life - at last!
Thanks Matthew 🙂

They sounds like delightful simple pleasures 💛
I love benefitting from the lovely flowers others have planted, when my own gardener status remains beginner, time-poor and aspirational

Definitely! Aww thanks. I have to go back today and collect so that'll be nice.
Thank you for sharing!
“Cows look great in fields” 🤣 Your cow tribute brought me chuckles!
Haha. I can't take credit for that sadly - the wonderful words of The School of Life's Simple Pleasures book. But that chapter really made me laugh.
It’s the little things that bring so much joy!
Indeed!

I like the idea of thinking of them as ‘sunshine moments’ 💛
