10 Things That Make Me Irrationally Happy
Today I'm sharing ten things that make me irrationally happy... and none of them are particularly impressive. They're the small things. The slightly absurd things. This is a celebration of the ordinary moments that quietly make life feel rich. Living in the French countryside has taught me that happiness isn't always found in big milestones or dramatic life changes. More often, it's hidden in simple routines, peaceful moments and the freedom to enjoy a slower, quieter life. And if these videos make you feel a little less alone, a little more understood, or simply give you a quiet space while folding washing or avoiding life for ten minutes… you can also find me on Patreon below. / take30plants I’ve also started a small free Substack space where I write occasional reflections outside the videos, for those who might enjoy that quieter format. You can find it here: alisontake30plants.substack.com And thank you, truly, for being here in whatever way you are.
