A list of things that the last few years have taught me –
You don’t need -
Instead of ruminating over something constantly get busy
Nobody really notices your limited wardrobe as long as you don’t smell and you hair isn’t greasy
You don’t need every camera gadget under the sun to take good pics
You don’t need every fancy bit of software, super duper high end laptop, 29 fountain pens, fancy ink to write
You don’t need the latest makeup, household gadget, new car to feel good about yourself
You do need –
Friends
A steady supply of coffee and biccies for said friends
Discipline in work when you’re self-employed
Curiosity
A library card
Warm quick dry socks and clothing
Rubber gloves to get cat hair off your clothing
Notebook and pen
Access to free wifi where poss
Water, veggies and fruit
Countryside and wildlife
Peace and a hug every so often
