The List – 50 Things I love

18th March 2015 By Jonelle Leave a Comment

Every now and then I like to remind myself about all the wonderful things in the world that make me happy. Some of them are so materialistic but that’s okay, many of them are places and experiences and that’s even better. Simple things can really make my day and nothing in the world starts my day off more happily than being handed a cup of coffee by my husband while I lie around in bed (this happens every single day and I still thank my lucky stars for him) cuddling with my dog.

Life is wonderful

We need to spend more time thinking about how blessed we are by the sunrise, how lucky we are to be able to experience the world and all her wonders. This is a list of 50 things I love in the world. I had to physically MAKE myself stop there because I know you’d rather be off writing your own list. Just do it. It really makes you realise that the smallest things in the world can literally make you the happiest person.

Things I love

  1. Sunglasses
  2. Handbags
  3. Shoes – especially boots
  4. Summer
  5. Beach holidays
  6. Animals – especially my dogs
  7. Family
  8. Sunday lunch
  9. Wine
  10. Medium rare steak
  11. Chips
  12. Sushi
  13. Skinny jeans
  14. My leather jacket
  15. My wedding photos
  16. My husband – SO MUCH
  17. Sleeping in
  18. Lazy weekends
  19. Road trips
  20. Rock music
  21. Singing along
  22. Acoustic concerts
  23. Picnics
  24. Social media
  25. Art
  26. My walk in closet
  27. Intellectual conversations
  28. Conversations about nothing
  29. Silliness
  30. Hugs (from certain people)
  31. Cuddles with my Spaniel Jessie
  32. Reading
  33. Finding a really great new website
  34. Twitter
  35. Blogging
  36. Writing
  37. Being appreciated
  38. Newly dyed hair
  39. Good hair days
  40. Skulls
  41. Tattoos
  42. My birthday
  43. Presents
  44. Tutus – especially pink ones
  45. The colours pink and black
  46. Adventures
  47. Camping
  48. Getting lost in a new city
  49. Online shopping
  50. My home

I hope my list has inspired you to go off and write your own list. Sometimes knowing what you love helps you to make the decisions about your purpose. Write a list. Write 10 things down, write 20 things down, write 100 things down. Just make a list of things that you enjoy, things that make you happy. Things that make you – YOU! <3

Hi, I’m Jonelle

I write things, I make art, I like good food, wine, a whisky after a rough day and I’m always up for a new adventure. I believe we can all contribute to a better world and we should do it while living authentically. I answer to “mommy,” live in Wellington New Zealand with my family and work for Local Goverment. Welcome to my blog…

Some of my plants got together for a little gather Some of my plants got together for a little gathering. Still don't know how I suddenly become a plant lady. But here we are. 

Feeling a little sad about the end of our time in Fortunatus Street but looking forward to our new home.
The biggest mushroom I ever did see. The biggest mushroom I ever did see.
Sitting on the steps, alone at home. Waiting on th Sitting on the steps, alone at home. Waiting on the results of my covid test while my family is camping with the neighbours. 

I don't particularly like being alone which is completely opposite to how I've been most of my life. 

Solitude was always a time to heal. To nurse my wounds. To recover from a lifetime of trauma. 

A life that from the outside was one to envy but from inside wasn't always easy. Wasn't easy at all. 

Endless pressure. 
Pressure to be everything I wasn't and everyone else's dream. 

Success. But not to me. 
And here I am. Living my dream. 
Happy. 

And strangely so uncomfortable with being on my own. 

I'd guess it's something to do with the road Solitude leads me down. 

I'm done healing. 
I'm okay now. 

Home. 
Alone. 
Drinking my beer.
Beautiful Queenstown ❤️ Beautiful Queenstown ❤️

So much packing to do.
