I love my Life

[showmeahero]

Does anyone else get an overwhelming feeling of Luckiness sometimes?
My Life is by no means perfect, I'm not wealthy or privileged at all but it's my little World and I often feel very, very grateful for everything I have.
So much time especially on here is spent complaining, being bitchy, spiteful or negative.
I just think occasionally it would be nice to see a lovely thread filled with lots of lovely things.

What made you happy today MNers?

Candles lit my dog snuggled into me whilst hubby makes tea, 6 years ago when i met my husband i had no idea what a fortunate life I was embarking on together

Found out what they thought was a blood clot was only pleurisy and got let out of hospital, unborn baby is fine, my brother is coming to take me food shopping and bringing my dog he's been looking after her.
Been feeling terrible with ill health and my ex left and won't admit the baby is his. Today it's not bothering me.

After some personal tragedy a few years back I decided to start taking a photo a day of something that had made me laugh, feel good or was just interesting.
The sky is a strange grey colour today so when I go for a run in a little bit (which always makes me feel fortunate that I’m able to) I’ll take a pic of it.

Nice thread. I feel lucky to be a sahm. It allows me to home ed our youngest child. My husband works his ass off to make this happen. I’m very grateful to him for that. I love that my dd and I can sleep later, do work at our own pace, take frequent breaks and decide when to end our day.

The night before last I dreamed I was snogging Morten Harket. I’m still feeling cheerful

Yep - I feel so lucky every day and then terrified I it’s all going to go wrong.

@vampirethriller sending you a giant virtual hug! Sorry to hear you're ex is being a dick but you've got this, promise

I’m grateful for the sun shining, a yummy dinner bubbling away in the slow cooker, my new snuggly yellow knitted jumper I’m wearing, my two healthy and happy sons (one playing out with his friends and one talking to friends on Fortnite, my lovely hardworking dh on his way home now and a term time/school hours job with nice colleagues, the Costa coffee I enjoyed earlier, paying off the last of our credit cards today and booking a centre Parcs break in November. After several family bereavements in the last two years causing much sadness, life is now good and long may it continue

I genuinely do love my life. I'm not wealthy but I am comfortable. I'm a single parent which after an unhappy marriage is refreshing and wonderful. Most importantly I have brilliant family and friends who love and care about me0, and a happy healthy DS.

I find joy in the smallest things. Music, my favourite TV shows, nice food.

My job is slightly dull but easy and not stressful and I have a good work/life balance.

DP bought me flowers today to fill my empty vases after getting back from our holiday. 😍

Yes I am happy with my life now. I don't have a career, own a house and I could do with more money, but I have a wonderful husband, amazing children and a nice home. I feel most content at home with my family.

There is an awful lot wrong in my life at the moment but I do think at least once every day, usually when I'm with DC, how lucky I am to have them and how happy they make me.

I love my life. It hasn't been perfect, this year has been rough as I had a MMC and lost my amazing Grandfather in the spring and, although I still feel sadness over things lost, I know I have so much. My DH who is hard working and who loves me, my kids who are healthy and lively (!), a roof over my head, food in the cupboards, stability, my pets and the time to enjoy it all. My Dad died suddenly when he was 36, so I don't want to waste my time being blind to what I have. I thank God for it every day.

Having a nap with 9 week old DS. Then watching TV whilst he slept on me.

DD(4) telling me how much she loves me. She's got her first school cold so I was expecting her to be grumpy but she's been so sweet this afternoon.

Such a sweet thread and a good reminder. I've loved the weather today, beautiful autumn sky. My baby was happy at her nursery settling in and my older one came skipping out of pre school (even though a child ran straight into him and he went splat!) it was great to see him enjoying himself.

I managed to drive from Dunblane to Perth today and I coped (I’m still learning).

DS2 singing made me smile.

DD and DS1 helping make dinner and actually being in the same room for more than 10 seconds and not fighting was bloody lovely!

"Appreciate the little things, one day you'll realise they were the big things"

Such a nice thread.

Got a bit depressed with all the shat on women posting. I really do appreciate DH more since joining MN.

After a very ropey few years with various friendship issues, my DS has a new best friend who moved in round the corner from us at the end of last year. They're both a bit quirky and they just clicked. He knocks for DS every morning to walk to school together (and every evening to play out, and every weekend - we might as well just adopt the lad!) and it's made the transition to high school infinitely easier. This morning I was taking our dog for a walk just after they left - I stood and watched them walking up the road nattering away about Gawd-knows-what and just had a huge wave of gratitude.

Usernc12 aye I appreciate DP a lot more too! He’s a good man, and a decent one.

My 9yo car passed its MOT with flying colours.
I know what you mean. This has been a really good year so far, job & house have both come together, ds is happy at school and has grown up a lot in the last few months, we’ve both had plenty of sun and I found myself thinking how very lucky I am. . I’m really not gloating, it’s just it’s all going in the right direction for once.

I love my life too OP. I feel very lucky and grateful for what I have. It's not a lot and it's been a hard slog to get where we are but I really do love my little bubble. Husband, house and babies is all I have ever wanted and I have never felt like I need to reach for the stars or climb any kind of career ladder. DH on the other hand always thinks the grass is greener on the other side - there is always something he wants that he can't have. Nice car, holiday etc. I think he will always want more. We are total opposites in that way - I guess I'm easy to please

What's made me happy today was surprising our DD(it's her birthday today)when she came home from school,we'd re decorated her bedroom for her(me,DH and our DS20)it had all been repainted and she has new curtains,new bedding,throw and cushion,new pictures and new ornaments and a wall mural.
She'd had all of her wrapped presents this morning and had no idea we were doing her bedroom for her.

She squealed as soon as she saw her room and got quite emotional bless her.

We've all been lovely to each other. DS2 just let out a little laugh at something on YouTube.

I feel lucky every day because I am well (I have MS, diagnosed 20 years ago next year) I'm lucky that I'm able to work to earn money to help pay for the home and the life I have with DP and Dcat.It's not exciting or extravagant, in fact it's very quiet and peaceful. Great thread op.
