A few more happy moments

A week of happiness - birthday's and holidays
This week I remembered the joy of birthdays as Miss eight bounced all around the house the day of her party!
She had a great party and although it was a busy and exhausting for me....Miss eight had a fantastic day and that was all that mattered.
For me, my joy was that it poured with rain after the party!

Of course the next day following her party, Miss 8 actually did turn eight and sharing her joy that day gave me great happiness. I'll be honest I always wanted a daughter, I love girlieness, I love pretty and I feel blessed to have a daughter...to be excited by Smiggle, Barbie and pillow pets! Miss 8 touches my life with so much happiness!

I also learnt this week that Joy comes from remembering your own childhood and reliving those memories .....like the Muppet's......so much loved the movie more than miss 8 and master 12!

My friends also gave me great happiness! I had a tough time last year with some people but my book club got me though and though book club some beautiful friendships were made. I am happy to be a friend to these lovely women! I am happy to give and take in all that friendship means! It is though one friend in particular that I have learnt what friendship means! 

I was also fortunate enough to go on a mini break with my family and my Dad.....my family makes me happy! They love me for who I am. I am participially fortunate to have a wonderful caring husband who spoils me rotten....I don't deserve it but he does!

This is the photo I put on facebook ......sunny perfect and everything! But this was my real moment of happiness!

 Having read a post on Facebook from another friend. I realised I was angry .....I went on a long walk and I let it go....I thought about big things, put myself in other peoples shoes. And I let it go .... happiness is letting go! And then enjoying the cocktails that follow!

And there is this ....reading by the pool, watching my family swim in the pool at the hotel...bliss! 

And last but not least ....Grown up time with my best friend....Love her! She makes me happy!

So what have I learnt?
That their is joyful moments in every day.

That when you reflect on the positive ....the negative is harder to remember!

Even in negative times, when you look for positives they will shine though.

I really don't give a dam if my Facebook friends think I'm mad

......Someone said this was a big commitment for a year.....I never said I would commit for 365 days but I will do this for as long it takes to change my outlook!
