What is lovely?

Often I struggle to see the lovely. 

It's not really about positivity or being 'happy' but more about bringing your focus and awareness to the moment and just being content in being you. 

The 'lovely' is a gently warm and fuzzy place that lives between the town of Euphoria and back streets of Apathy. 
It is the feeling that 'it is going to be ok' or 'ahh, I get that now!' 

Sometimes I find it hard to get to 'lovely', but most often I find it when I am engaged in something I am truly passionate about. 

Here are a few things that are sure-fire ways to get me on the road to lovelyville. 

1. The sea. 
This is a given, I am an Aquarius and (whilst I know that is an air sign) I think the water bearer thing is in my soul. I could just cry with happiness when we visit the seaside. It feels like my soul is home. 

2. Being creative.
I think this is an Aquarius thing to. Most recently this has become graphics and sometimes photography for marketing. I can get in the creative flow and I can just feel the inspiration pouring out. Sometimes it is the start of a bigger project and sometimes it is just one piece of perfection that just comes together at the right moment. 

3. Craft 
I love to make things with my hands. Crocheting, crafting and anything creative (but not really artistic - which involves real skill) is my forte. I can make a fort from a cardboard box and repaint almost anything to give it a new lease of life. 

4. Cooking. 
(I am thinking the creating thing is the main theme here!!) 
Raised in a very foody household there is something so wholesome about cooking and enjoying a meal as a family together. Flavours and smells are so nostalgic and it helps that I love to eat! 

5. Plants. 
My grandmother would be the happiest to know this about me. We never met but as a keen gardener and the reason we have a family tradition of naming girls flower names, I think she would be pretty chuffed to hear this. 
Most recently a love of succulents, ferns and cacti, plants are so giving of themselves and immensely satisfying to love and nurture. This is a new area of my land of lovely which I am really hoping to explore. 

What is your lovely?
