The other day I was thinking about things which make me happy. It’s actually quite a difficult exercise – if you don’t believe me, give it a go. What are the things which make you really, truly happy? Where are the places you can always find joy?<\/p>\n

10. A new blog comment from someone I don’t know<\/p>\n

9. Private worship session in my room with my guitar<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0A evening of dancing (salsa, swing etc)<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0Waking up in the night, getting something to drink and realizing it’s only midnight and I still ages before I have to get up \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

2. Watching my niece dance around in front of the TV<\/p>\n

1. A nice cup of tea.\u00a0Seriously,\u00a0I can’t describe how much I love tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n
