"Walking in the mountains " That does sound nice. I sometimes think hiking would be something I'd enjoy doing but I don't know where to start. Which, now I think about it, is a pretty poor excuse. | |||

"-Take a moment to think about all the people you have in your life; Family and Friends -Look through some old photos of happy memories -Remember your life is a series of transitions, and things can change pretty rapidly. And please, Love yourself ❤️" I appreciate you. I was truly asking the question to find out what brings other joy but you're right. I'm struggling and do need practical tips like this | |||

"I prefer forests myself. A bright day and the smell of summer. Freshly cut wood or project I've made myself." The smell of summer (does summer have a smell?) seems a long way off in this bitter cold sometimes. I am bordered by forests, thankfully. And I do love taking my pup for a walk in the woods. | |||

Oh sorry about that.

It's a feeling that I can achieve anything after that.. its very strange to be fair | |||

On a whim once when life was REALLY hard I ended up looking at how much it would cost to buy a little place on the beach somewhere (it was reasonable!) Sadly I have no holiday plans. | |||

"Observing other people do random acts of kindness. I think it reassures me Oh wow, I think I'd like to see a lot more of this happen on a more regular basis. What type of things do you see happen?" Smallest of things holding a door for someone who is a few steps back, helping someone lift their shopping bags. | |||

"Sunshine… I can be in the worst mood but a little bit of time outdoors in the sunshine and it completely changes my whole day and just makes me so happy I walked from my car to Morrisons in the sunshine, do you think that was enough to see positive results in the sun?
Absolutely 😂 just a couple minutes out doors is enough… especially when there could be Morrisons donuts at the end of your “walk”😂"You putting walk in quotes just made me laugh, that was very generous of you!! I did not get any donuts BUT! I did pick up some choc chip cookies. There's something so happy making about choc chip cookies. | |||

Actually, on the weekend this man held the door open for me even though he was on crutches and had two very energetic children with him and I thought it was such a kind gesture that I went out of my way to be more conisiderate of others and it just made me happy to see someone barrelling at me with a grump look on their face and to see it change to a smile when they saw I was waiting to hold the door open for them. We definitely need more random acts of kindness in the world. It feels like it takes so little to make a positive change to someone else's day. | |||

"Do you now! 😊" if you hit +quote when you reply it'll show what you're replying to. I could scroll up but I'm going to take a guess and say yes, I love courgettes. And if I'm wrong and just answered completely randomly then that's okay too. | |||

"Getting out to the country or the beach; playing live or seeing live music; spending time with good friends. " Playing live? What is that you play? I'm always impressed when others are musical. | |||

"I'm in need of joy. I’ll send you my Amazon link. I order the 5kgs as you get more for your money. Don’t bother with the Temu or AliExpress versions of Joy. Proper rip-off, turned out to be Misery rebranded. Do you think 5kgs is enough? How long does that last you?" It goes a long way if you spread it thinly and use it sparingly (I use a spatula) - use it only when necessary. My last order lasted me ages, as long as it’s properly sealed after use and kept in a warm dry environment. | |||

"Being with each other. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Walks in the countryside or at the beach. Getting home from a days work and lighting the log burner. Chocolate. Red wine. Weekends away. Getting under a cosy duvet. Life is full of joy if you can find it in the simple things in life." I imagine a lot burner as being very romantic. Where do you on your weekends away? | |||

My dad had dementia and when I’d go to visit him in his specialised care I’d worry he wouldn’t be the same. But that first time, he had me laughing like crazy at his antics and it was so great to see him joking with the others to spread joy in his unit. It was so lovely and heartwarming to see. I’m sorry about your mum but I’m also really glad you can spend that time with her and still find that joy in each others company. | |||

"Joy to me always comes from contentment as well as the past and present. For example, I’m having a bad day at work, however If I think back 18 years ago, this is what I wanted to do. There is joy in that progress" That’s an interesting perspective. I’ll try to think of how to make that work in my current situation! | |||
