About Gleeful

"Life is not meant to be easy, my child; but take courage: it can also be delightful." (George Bernard Shaw).

Hello! My name is Jayne. I started Gleeful when I was feeling glum to encourage myself to look for and celebrate the little joys in life. It's an exercise in mindfulness and gratitude - and it's worked pretty well. I do it without thinking now.

If my blog can brighten someone else's day or encourage them to start noticing the simple pleasures in their own lives, that will be the icing on a very tasty cake.

Some of my fave happiness quotes

"It is by studying little things that we attain the great art of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible." - Samuel Johnson
"It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor." - Seneca
"When you can be happy in the midst of hardship, then you can see the true potential of the mind." - Huanchu Daoren
"Smile, breathe and go slowly." - Thich Nhat Hanh
"Remember this - if you are in a position to take things for granted, you are already blessed beyond your needs." - Andrew Bienkowski, Radical Gratitude
