My moments of Happiness

I wrote a goal and posted it on Facebook

The goal was simple

2012 I will be Happy and everything else will just have to sort itself out!


Amazingly within twelve hours of posting this goal .....it changed my life!
When someone wrote 'That's a great goal simple but hard to achieve and another person agreed with them! The person who agreed was a person who had given a very good friend a hard time for caring about them. But her agreeing statement showed me what sort of person she was! I'm from the belief that if someone wants something you support them in their need (well if the need is reasonable). But being happy is reasonable! With her one little statement I became aware that no my friend was caring and loving and that what we had been struggling with was a very negative personality!
So as to the statement of happiness being hard to achieve ......I'm going to show them by posting a photo each day of my little moment of happiness or gratefulness! I'm going to achieve my goal and do it with a smile on my face!

Happiness is coffee with these cherubs and my Dad ....my family means everything to me! They define me and  I love each and every one of them! Simple

Well behaved children: I was so sick on this day and my two cherubs entertained themselves ....they trashed the house but they did entertain themselves and let me rest .....why shouldn't I be happy about that!

Living in a country where hygiene, good food and a wonderful medical system means that my little girl will get better! I read on a facebook status of a friend that where we are born is pot luck, you could be born in Africa or India but it's just pot luck where your soul is born....I like that and I guess I'm glad that my pot luck allows me to live in such a wonderful country!

Loving that my kids love their cousins and I love GOMA......one of my favourite places in Brisbane!

5'o'clock happy hour - drinks while the kids swim on a summer afternoon - happy me :)

Impromptu sleepovers - I love making my kids happy and creating memories!

Mango's which remind me of summer: So perfect!

Big Love: cousins- mine was sixteen years older but these two define what cousins should be!Watching them makes me happy

Cleaning up Miss 8's bedroom and that moment when you can see the floor! Perfection! It took me three hours to bin and sort but it was so worth it!

A chocolate cafe- chocolate always brings a smile to my face ......Love Love Love it!!!!

Beautiful old friends coming to visit! These are old workmates who are just beautiful people and wonderful friends! Love them and they make me happy!

And yes there have been bad things that have happened: sickness, my son who is exerting his adolescent independence, a major holiday in tatters: thanks Air Asia, but you know what it will sort itself out and I will focus on the happy moments!
