Have you had moments of unexpected joy recently?

Hi, members! We’ve made it to one of the most serene parts of the day — Tuesday afternoon. Whether you've been out and about tending to your garden, enjoying a cuppa with a friend, or settling into your favourite armchair with a good book, it’s time to give yourself a moment to relax and revel in the accomplishments of the day.

It can be easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, but let’s not forget to pause and take the opportunity to reflect on the beauty around us. So, do you have any moments of unexpected joy you've had recently? We'd love to hear from you, so don't hesitate to share them with us below!
 
I was walking my dog around my neighbourhood the other day I did have this moment of gratitude for where I live and how happy I am here :giggle:

My 3-year-old niece recently sang me a lullaby when I pretended to sleep to tease her. Hearing her croon 'Go to sweep' made my heart swell as the whole thing was just so indescribably adorable and lovely!

So did you jump up straight away and clean the floor? 😜

Maybe - I washed the dog today, so perhaps when she forgives me and comes and sits with me smelling a whole lot better, I will feel the love! haha
 
Family is what makes me happy, and we have decided we will go out as a family to eat at least once a month.

This is us in the last week or so.

We go for brunch once a week whoever can make it. And yes it's me on the phone, and my son , daughter and granddaughter sitting on her aunty's lap
