- Dried flowers and succulents.
- Listening to music I used to listen to when I was younger. Specifically, blaring out Pop Punk songs from the 90’s.
- Yoga
- Falling asleep in James’ arms. (I like this one a lot!)
Wow, that was a lot harder than I thought it would be!
At the beginning I was thinking, how am I going to get to fifty?! and now i’m here, I could go on for ages!
