Over the past year my world, like most people's, has shrunk. This has pushed me to find joy in smaller ways. A particular highlight was the "how far can I run in my slippers before they fall off" game  The biggest one has been finding pleasure in being outdoors, though. The feel of the air on my skin makes my stresses melt away 
What about you?

I'm a huge fan of collecting small joyful moments life "philosophy"..
I embraced things I always enjoyed but neglected pre plague because there was so much on the plate. Definitely being amongst the nature and seeking solace and peace there like you.
More quality conversations, more raw sharing. Taking it all in not just chewing end of the straw. |

Finding new trails. I’ve lived here all my life and I’ve only just discovered loads of bridal ways and trails I never knew were there. One of the best ones is only about 3 miles from my house, it has a sweeping panoramic view of Dartmoor it then Descends down through woods and at the bottom there’s a Ford, then a stone bridge and old railway station. All of which I never knew was there. Also found another that follows a winding river, it’s covered in bluebells and daffodils at the moment. If I see a new trail or path I just follow it and see where they lead, it’s the only way to find new places. |

I've rediscovered a love of exercise which I hated before lockdown!
Just seeing spring arrive whilst out on walks has been truly amazing, the blossom, little flowers emerging...kind of gives you hope  |

"Slowing down is my biggest pleasure.
I knew I was busy before but now I realise I was in a constant rush.

This. I was always doing something or going somewhere or keeping the kids busy. I've realised I can actually just chill, and do can the kids. |

Sharing the home schooling meant I had to use my brain more. I made up lots of puzzles and games. Connected with her more so made me more happier.
Also the more walks on the beach I've had. Such a saver for me. |

What an endearing image OP.
Much like others I'd always found I was too busy, too stressed to enjoy anything simple. I've started embracing little rituals of joy in my life - my partner brushing my hair, having a cup of tea in the garden and listening to the birds. I also take great pleasure in faffing about with the hanging baskets. |
