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?

Meant to say its not exciting or extravagant!

I have moments like that.

I have an amazing job that I love which is going to lead to the career I want. I have a beautiful family and an amazing husband. I have some lovely new friends in my life.

Money is shit right now, my dh's MH is poor and I struggle at times too. However, I still get an overwhelming feeling of luckiness/happiness.

I have not had an easy life exactly, but it is improving with age and after being so unhappy for so many years this new happiness is very much appreciated and not taken for granted. Even the harder parts of life seem much easier to cope with.

This is such a lovely thread op. It's nice reading everyone's responses. Had a run of bad luck but in grand scheme of things were very lucky

Lovely thread.

We made a big move a few years ago when the DC were very small - it was a huge disruption, more for us than them.

But recently I have been aware of a feeling of profound contentment. Not jumping around the room happy - 'just' contentment. And it's like a warm blanket.

I have so much to be grateful for that, like a mediocre soap opera, I worry there's going to be an unexpected plot twist and something's going to go wrong. 😬

And like a PP, being on MN makes me hugely grateful for my DH!

Had a few bad yeara and have been in a lot of pain but now i've found a new doctor who is very understanding and poaitive and i have much better pain control. I feel so happy and gratefull.... sometimes i'm angry or worried about stuff and i remember i'm not in pain or only feeling bearable pain and i feel extremely happy.

Talking to my parents on the phone also makes me feel really lucky. They are such great people and they are in my life!

I also love my job. It's very stressful at times but it brings so much joy to my life!

Very happy. Retired recently, busier than ever doing things I love. So grateful I can run, walk for miles, cycle, swim and do yoga even though I am ‘large’. There are challenges to be faced (ds with severe learning difficulties) but my dh and I have coped so far and I’m sure we’ll cope with the rest. Don’t see the point with dwelling on the negative. So lovely to read all these posts of a similar vein.

@MsFor, hot does one listen to rain storms on the I phone?

I'm so envious of your feelings of gratitude. I feel like I am in a permanent state of anxiety and am waiting for the next tragedy to hit.

Look after yourself- pleurisy is painful. I had it last year.
But lovely that all is well with baby.

Love my life. Loved my childhood. Loved my 20’s. Loved being sahm for 20 years. Love my new fulltime job at 50+. Just love everything. I’m lucky to have a positive attitude, plus nothing horrendous in my life (so far) to deal with. Very very happy.

Me too OP. Practising gratitudes reminds me of my blessings and got me through two years of terrible luck.

Thankfully things seem on the up. Dh is lovely, I'm lucky to have dc and a home and a body that finally works again.

Thanks OP.

What a lovely thread. I’ve been reading too much Mumsnet lately and feeling myself getting sucked into a bit of a negativity vortex!

Today I am grateful for the very flattering feedback I had for something I did at work. I left work feeling really proud of myself I’m also very grateful that my teenage son has started showering daily of his own volition (suspect he has a girlfriend )

Yeah. Often.

Health. Good job. Happy. Family lovely. Luck lucky lucky.

I had a ham and mushroom omelette, 2 hash browns, beans, a banana and a large caramel latte for breakfast, ordered DD a pack of 2 swimming costumes for school, had a lovely meeting with DD and the family coach at school. 😁

I'm grateful, though sometimes if I mention it I catch people looking at me like I'm a lunatic.
It's true we have a 6 year old car, have never holidayed out of Europe and can not afford to buy our own house so I get the impression I'm supposed to be discontent. By contrast I think that if I had a newer car I would be constantly stressed about it being scratched, if I'd been out of Europe I'd maybe never have seen the amazing things I have and if we weren't renting we certainly couldn't afford to live in the wonderful area that we do.
They do say that comparison is the thief of joy and I honestly believe that's true
