Things that bring me joy!

• Bunny butts (that is, the flash of their white tails as they hop around)
• A patch of blue sky and the sudden emergence of sunlight after constant clouds and rain
• Seeing Ferns in company names and logos everywhere in NZ
• Meaningful connections with strangers no matter how brief
• Separating from the Magic Bus by means of a different hostel or taking the Intercity bus instead
• Sheepies and lamblets!
• Gorgeous landscapes stretching out below you in the light of a sunset
• Light!
  
• Unexpectedly finding a lovely handmade blank journal in an artist's co-op shop when the previous journal is down to its last page.
• Eavesdropping. Hehe.
• Baaing at sheep, barking at dogs, quacking at ducks, clucking at chickens, mooing at cows
• Quirky hostels like the Funky Green Voyager (Rotorua), The Green Monkey (Nelson), and Wanaka Bakpaka (Wanaka)
• Fish and chips ice cream. That is, chocolate fish and chocolate chips
• Reverting to childhood joys by giddily running up the dinosaur's tail and sliding gleefully down its neck.
• Little kids with Kiwi accents
  
• A resurgence of energy and creativity after much needed downtime and solitude
