Really happy today

I’m sitting having coffee outside reading the paper and have realised that I feel really, really happy. Absolutely no idea why, nothing different happened yesterday, today I’ve stripped the bed, washed and hung out the sheets and am now going to clean the sitting room. Nothing exciting planned but I just feel happy.
Anyone else had those days?

Yes definitely. I remember one specific day back around August/September 1997 when I felt really good in myself 😊❤️

Me too, i got up early and drove to a gym class for 7.30. It was a lovely sunny morning with hardly any traffic, felt lovely, enjoyed the class and on the way home realised that today i feel great! Off out later to pub with DH so will finish the day nicely too i hope.

I'm quite ill so can't do anything, but strangely feel really happy.
Looking forward to chinese takeaway tonight and my favourite programme.
Ghost Theory on YouTube, always gives me a laugh.
Spooky and funny 😊

Hi, I'm having a rather middling morning myself but glad to hear others are properly happy. I'll borrow a bit of that sentiment... may your day continue as it started.

Your morning sounds heaven OP.
I've had a swim in the sea and have just eaten smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on toast in the garden. Drinking a coffee now, my bathers drying on the line, a blackbird is splashing about in the bird bath and a cloud of little birds are having their breakfast at the bird feeders.

Off to paint my kitchen and hope that by the time I eat my roast veg dinner the room will be a lovely olive green.

Have a lovely day everyone.

I almost feel guilty that I feel so happy. Been having a shit time at work recently but even the thought of being in work on Monday is not making me feel down.
I definitely don’t love cleaning normally, can’t quite work out where this feeling of happiness is coming from but I’m going to run with it and make the most of it.

No I wasn’t actually - because I’ll always remember that time it was very very special ❤️

It’s probably just hormonal

As I’m 60 that’s unlikely, my hormones are on a medicated even keel now thankfully.

I'm 60 too. It's a contented, happy, comfortable in my own skin time of life like no other (so far).

I misunderstood. I thought you remembered specifically because that was the last time 🫣

DramaAlpaca · 02/08/2025 11:24

I'm happy for you, OP.

Also early 60s and I get it. It's a good time of life.
