The smell of lavender on those days or a scented candle #instantdelight #kinections
When you're having one of *those days*, how do you find your instant delight? Those moments that might only last even a few seconds. What may help is using our senses to find our delights - touch, taste, smell, sight, sound or movement #kinections

Happy trails!
All packed and ready to volunteer today for a month on @thebookbus's reading programme in Zambia, helping children with their literacy skills & getting them excited about reading. This year's theme is 'Animal Planet', so I'm bringing copies of @Usborne's Big Book of Animals.

"Self-acceptance is about recognizing that you are a process, not a product."
I am sick and tired of living a life full of fear. Today, I am taking a profound philosophic stance and saying loudly that no matter what happens, I can always choose to accept myself. #ReflectionsGuterman psychcentral.com/lib/self-ac…
