What are the little things that you do to make life feel that bit better?

For me, what I do is to feel better is try and get out of the house. I'm disabled. I'm registered disabled. So it is what it is. But I got arthritis in both my knees. I struggle to walk, so I often go out when I can in a mobility scooter, and sometimes I just go out for fun, just take a trip. And instead of getting the bus out somewhere, I'll just have my mobility scooter or I'll just go out and get the train somewhere just to get out of the house. I've got a Freedom Pass, so I use that just to go out and about and travel around London. Sometimes I just go up by the River Thames, have a spot of lunch and come home. Just get out the house, really, for me is the main thing of sort of by sanity.
