To want to see a little more positivity!

[wonderwoman73]

There seem to be lots of rather negative posts and topics so to celebrate the fact that it's friday I think we should list 5 things in our lives that make us happy!
(and no, I'm not on prozac, nor have I been at the vodka).

1. Walking into my dd's room in the morning and being greeted with a huge gummy grin.
2. Cuddling my dh
3. Having a sister who's also my best friend
4. The smell of fresh coffee
5. A glass of really good red wine

What are yours??

GOOD IDEA! I am fed up of being in the dumps.

1. birds in stormy weather trying to fly
2. James Taylor
3. Singing in the car
4. doing the 'forty, forty five' with my sister
5. waking up horny.

1. It's friday
2. Have just eaten last piece of cake so I have an excuse to make another one tommorrow
3. My car tyres are now fixed :O
4. It's sunny
5. The smell of freshly cut grass.

Today?

Looking forward to a HUGE glass of wine with supper tonight.

Looking forward to seeing my parents on Sunday and loving the fact that DD (3.6) is really looking forward to seeing them too.

DD helping me with the tidying and cleaning this morning because she knows how much I hate it.

Looking forward to having DP's family over for pre-fireworks drinks and nibbles tommorrow evening and having some valium in stock for my greyhound so he won't freak.

Sunny day, solvent, healthy, in love with DP still, adore DD, don't need anything else.

(Great thread idea - it's cheered me up just to think about the good things).

1. dd being accpeted onto ketogenic diet which will hopefully stop her seizures.
2. dd got her first party invite ever. Usually she's left out cos she is disabled.

3.I've lit the fire and my feet are thawing out

1. large bar of choc next to my computer
2. saved enough money to afford a takeaway this evening. Am very excited.

Just about everything.

Dunno if it's the citalopram or the brighter weather rgetting back to running but I feel like the character from the Fast Show that thought everything was 'brilliant'

Cheerful loon

1)Looked at DD today and felt the first 'rush of love', shes 5 weeks old and i was so scared it would never happen for me
2)Going out on the town tomorrow night with my best mates for the first time in nearly a year
3)DP smiling at me when he gets back from work
4)Seeing my mum finally happy
5)Family Guy

Today:

1. Lovely man at the local John Lewis - doing something above and beyond the call of duty for me (not as rude as it sounds btw ).
2. Beef casserole for dinner is aleady made and just needs heating up.
3. Ds2 has really got the hang of crawling and is grinning away as he does it. He looks so proud of himself.
4. Have a very nice bottle of wine for later.
5. It is sunny

aww thats lovely about your DD needmorecoffee

1. DD dancing and singing along to the Muppets with a little, cold induced, husky voice.
2. DH seeming to grow more handsome and more wonderful with every passing day.
3. Mince pies and clotted cream (am pregnant and greedy as hell at the moment)
4. It's Friday and I can have my one unit a week tonight.
5. Christmas is around the corner and DH has loads of time off.

what a breath of fresh air this thread is!

1. Walking up to school this morning in the pouring rain with dd1 in her pink wellies jumping in all the puddles
2. Walking back from dropping dd1 off and admiring the beautiful autumnal trees
3. Watching dd2 (14mths) dance to cheesy pop
4. Thinking about Daniel Craig in tight shorts
5. Looking forward to a steaming hot bubble bath later and a large glass of wine

I'm with ormirian.

1. The ads are working and I have had no panic attacks for 3 weeks.
2. Dd ( 10 months) rushing over when I put a pillow on the floor and lying down for a 'rest' with mummy
3. Watching dd eat cheerios
4. Playing tug of war with her socks
5. Making her laugh by blowing raspberries into her armpits

Today;

1. My husband
2. My daughter
3. My son (they all rank equally high)
4. The fact that I am probably going to get soaked whilst biking home from work, giving me an excuse to change straigt into my jimjams whilst dh is making a hot water bottle and cosying up on the sofa with all of the three above mentioned.
5. It is almost x-mas

1. My cleaner had been in and my house is orderly
2. Dh back from a conference tonight
3. Having been accepted on an MA course this week
4. Being alive, fairly healthy and having a fab dh and a lovely (if teenagerish) ds
5. Going back to UK next weekend and seeing my Mum for a couple of days.

Hear, hear, Orm. despite being on citolopram and struggling with lousy depression, my overall feeling is that life is a blessing and being on this beautiful planet, despite the problems, is a privilage.
List would be endless but for starters;

My diet coke crush.
Autumn leaves(seeing and kicking).
Running.
cycling.
Giggling with my DD.
having a good day with my DS.
Soft furry things!

Sorry I'll stop, but you have made me feel a little better as I am swimming upstream at the moment.

I'm f'ing miserable all the time. Tree huggers

1. My little girl has showered me with hugs and kisses today.
2. It's Friday which means everyone's at home for the weekend.
3. An old friend's coming to visit at the end of the month.
4. The new place is nearly ready and I'll be moved very soon!
5. All the trees are beautiful Autumn colours.

Hey let's all give Shootfromthehip a big group hug

Are you trying to cheer me up? I'm much more shallow than that- nice wine would be my prefered option- feel free to send that over.

I try to do this every day. Sometimes, I'll admit, it's hard when the roof has leaked, you've got pmt and the kids have all got allergies.
But today is good because...

1. The cleaner has been - god love and protect her
2. Had a meeting at school and was told my DD is a credit to me
3. Wrote 2000 words of latest book
4. DH will get back from biz trip tomorrow so some of the weekend can be salvaged.
5. Have just had a bath in chanel no 5 and smell great.

No I was trying to mock you

Sorry but I don't drink, but if you can wait until after x-mas I will let you have some of my usual wine presents that they know I won't drink

1. Have just had a cup of tea and chocolate cake.
2. Chinese take away later
3. Been for lunch at my antenatal friends - think I have one of the best antenatal groups ever
4. DH and DD
5. Did a spin class this morning, so no guilt over the chocolate!

Suey is on this thread and she's feeling better
Its friday and I'm going out tonight with my old and very good friends.

2.Fireworks tomorrow night.
3.It's Friday.
4.Bought some lovely fabric to make a handbag.
