10 Reasons to be hapopy!

1. I have 2 beautiful healthy children and a lovely husband.

2. I have the best mum in the world. She has had a tough few years with a nasty road accident and then breast cancer. She was so brave and strong both times, selflessly worrying about everyone else even whilst she was so unwell. I am happy she was strong and got better. She is not only my mum but my best friend.

3. I have my cheeky chickens and cuddly guinea pigs.

4. My son read a page of a "Horrid Henry" book. A few months ago he could not even read. He finds so many things difficult but his determination to succeed always makes me smile.

5. My daughter has been so helpful today and in such a lovely mood.

6. It is looking positive that my husband will be home for Christmas this year. He has only been home twice for Christmas in the last 8 years.

7. I have nearly learnt my new violin tune.

8. I have finished the rather large ironing pile.

9. My babies have laid me 18 beautiful eggs today. Its a good excuse to bake some cakes tomorrow.

10. I know it was naughty but it made me feel happy, I have just eaten a Curly wurly.


It has been a bit of a stressful day so this list has really helped to lift my spirits. I had a bad weigh in at Slimming World and then a few thing continued to go wrong during the day, but thats all over with now and I have tomorrow to look forward to. I always love that first thing in the morning feeling when my son and I walk down the garden and get the chickens up. It is lovely to hear the chickens clucking and the birds singing. Early mornings have to be my favourite time of the day.
