Tell us what you are feeling happy about

[Janinejones]

Anyone getting the keys to a new flat today? Anything special.
Just got up and thinking, Ooo that was nice!
I have a special date later, so I am feeling good..

Finishing my 3rd night shift in an hour, then I got 3 night's off to recover 😀

It's the weekend! Start if half term so get to spend time with my kids! I've woke up pretty happy at the thought of a new day 😃

I'm happy that my children are living in a warm house after years of being in cold poorly insulated, poorly heated houses.

I'm happy it's the weekend so I have more time and can bake something today (probably banana bread with chocolate chips).

I applied for the conditional order on my divorce today. Sole application that I funded myself, as a single parent raising DD. Pretty proud and very excited to finalise hopefully in the new year!

DD has her swimming lesson this morning, then we are going pumpkin picking and will carve later. She will be so excited. She's just turning 4 so gaining an understanding of holidays and traditions which makes it even more fun this year!

I have a lovely, albeit rented, house. 2 nice cars. A good job. We are healthy. Life is good.

I've made it to my first half term in my new job! And it's half term so I get to spend time with my kids. It's lovely and quiet in my house as everyone is still asleep and I'm having a rare peaceful moment to myself.

DCs have 2 Weeks off School and I'm only working 1 day in both weeks!

Meeting my best friend later, not seen her for a few months!

Off on holiday soon.

Although it's just to the Kent coast, its going to be wet, wet, wet and we have 3 hours to kill in the pissing rain before our cottage is available 😀 (booked a particular train so arriving early!)

But it's a week away and we're going to enjoy every moment.

Everybody so far sounds as if they have lots of lovely reasons to be happy!
I am happy looking forward to a (very quiet) Christmas. It will be a month after I finish radiotherapy and I'm hoping that I will feel well by then. I have already started my Christmas shopping and wrapping and hope to have it all finished before I start radiotherapy.
I am happy looking forward to taking my grandchildren to the theatre next Wednesday.
I am happy that I have booked two lovely things to do in February when I hope to be back to normal
I am happy I have a whole day without any commitments and I can do whatever I like
I am happy that I have felt well all week and had a lovely morning out on Thursday
I am happy that my youngest (adult) child is coming to stay for a few days with their baby in just over a week
I am happy that I have just had a delicious breakfast after not waking up until 7am
I am just happy this morning.

I’m happy because I’m making myself be. I was supposed to travel down to stay with my dd and dgc today, but have cancelled because of the weather so I have a week of chilling at home; nothing to do except for all the things. Looking forward to clearing some of the detritus of life that has accumulated, and maybe a bit of reading, painting, garden, swimming etc… (doubt I’ll get any of the boring stuff done actually !) Happy we’re all safe and well, and that we have zoom.

@DilemmaDelilah all the best, enjoy x

Thank you for this lovely thread, op, it focuses the mind. Have a hug x

Thanks for the hug. I am about to take a friend to the station, she is out for the day. I shall do some shopping, nice bread at indy baker. Then get ready for going out to meet my date and away until tomorrow night.
Enjoy, be happy. x

I'm meeting 2 of my lovely friends for a bottomless brunch this afternoon and then a little mooch in town
Off work for a week with DH & the kids. We are going to London for 2 nights & im hoping to spend time sorting the house as it's a tip! Chilled week ahead.
