To ask what's making you happy today?

[wellBeehivedWoman]

Having a bit of a stressful day, so I thought I'd focus on the things that are cheering me up!

1. I'm working from home
2. I have laundry drying on the line which will smell amazing when it's done
3. my neighbours' cat is very cutely asleep on my garden bench

Tell me what is lifting your spirits today!

I've spent the day cuddling my beautiful little boy, who's six weeks old. He's an IVF baby and I feel so very happy every day to finally have him!

A much needed hug from someone lovely.
Tea, just the ordinary kind; it's just so nice right now.
The cooler weather.
A Bill Bryson audio book.

I found a bar of foreign chocolate that a colleague bought me because he thought I'd like it. I'd forgotten had it.

It tastes like my favour chocolate bar from childhood that they haven't made since the 80s.

I am very happy.😊

My Doppler arrived so I’ve heard my baby’s heartbeat. I had two MMC last year and was convinced the same would happen this time, couldn’t believe it when we saw the baby wriggling around at the scan. I’ve been on a high ever since.

My dog has been so so excited to be chasing after his new ball in the garden, and didn't want to come in despite panting and huffing about, and being clearly knackered.

Our petunias are out and looking rather lovely.

A bullfinch came to the bird feeder / table this morning - gorgeous.

Minapaws i got so excited when i discovered newts in our garden, then again when they moved into the pond i built them. DD(4) thinks i am a 'weirdo' Glad someone shares my enthusiasm for the little beasties.

My mum just babysat my four kids while my OH and I went for a carvery.
Now they are in bed starting to settle and I'm going to have an early night after feeding baby and getting him to sleep.

I had a bath, face pack, filed my feet.

Spoke to a really nice man on the tax credits helpline. He was helpful and I ticked that job off.

Painted my toe nails.

I have been really struggling lately, overwhelmed, suffering from anxiety, and living in a state of panic.

I have worked so hard in all areas of my life, and I was burning out. So I didn’t see anyone whilst the DCs were at school, I made no plans and I didn’t feel guilty for it.

I just went slower.

Tomorrow I’m going to bake a cake. I miss having time to bake.

Just been for my 12 week scan and there’s a perfect little baby in there. I’m so happy and relieved

I've been looking for some pieces of Lego to complete a set to sell. I've looked everywhere I've driven myself crazy for weeks. Then today I found it I feel so happy.
I also saw two of my best friends today. It was great.
I bought a nasty dry chicken today and I called Tesco and got a refund.
Very good day overall

A walk and lovely lunch out with a good friend.

DH away for the night so I can slob around and watch my choice of tv .

Thanks to new look giving me £5 voucher for spending £20 I got some shoes for £1.38 and a play suit for £1.99 because I split my large order to get best value.

This week seems to have gone really quick :-)

Compliments from my boss today.

Taking 20 month dd to soft play today with mil and all having a lovely time.

Spending time in the garden with DH who is radically changing it so the DC can play safely.

Visiting my parents and helping them with a job.

Chip shop chips!

Feeling no pain.

1. Driving past a carpet of bluebells in nearby woods
2. DD's hilarious and adorable facial expressions as she picked up and gummed some avocado for the very first time

It was school mass today( outside on the school playground) for dd(7) and I had to take my two ds with me (4 and 3) I thought they would play up but actually they set up the blanket I took and invited some other preschoolers they saw there to come and join them for a picnic and to play with their toys. They were so well behaved and reasonably quiet!
I was very proud!

My dh is here, who I haven't seen in 3 months.

We have just been to lidl and bought loads of yummy food. Pie in the oven and a glass of wine started.

The sun is just setting across the hills and we have an outstanding view of it.
