People watching with a mug of coffee, snuggling up in front of an open fire, sunshine on a long walk or your favourite song on the radio. The little things in our lives can make the biggest difference. But do we enjoy the little things more with someone else?

I am definitely a girl who enjoys her own company and who is happy spending time alone. But obviously I would much prefer to snuggle up with someone in front of an open fire.

It’s easy to feel apprehensive and a little bit nervous about the prospect of sharing the little things with another person when you’ve been so let down and promises have been broken. You question everything. That wall gets rebuilt and it is even stronger than before. But if we do that, how can we ever expect to let anyone new in?

My walls may be built but there are plenty of windows to let that sunshine in.
