To ask what makes you happy?

[Smartiepants79]

Saw this on the news this morning www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21855292
So what is happiness?
For me- my 2 amazing little girls.
My husbands silly jokes.
My lovely extended family.
Good books.
Trips to the Scilly isles.
Oh and ice cream, wine and pizza?
Keep it clean people!

Baby girl smiling and laughing, cuddles in the big bed with Baby and Daddy, playing music on a jukebox when a little merry, cooking, a bubble bath, reading. Sleeping.

Hearing my ds belly laugh, seeing him smile and hearing him talk.

He was prem and suffered quite a bit post birth.

He is now a healthy, happy and active 2 year old who is exactly where he should be developmentally.

People using the right topics. Like CHAT for this thread, for instance.

My DD, snuggling under a duvet on a rainy day watching films, sleep, lying in the sun, spontaneous fun days/evenings, nights out with friends, family time, the last hour at work before the weekend, winning anything, hugs, massages, stroking my cats, clothes shopping, eating lovely food, breakfast in bed, Christmas and unexpected (nice) surprises.
