Drinking morning cup of tea and hearing the children singing.

When it is a nice sunny day it makes me so happy.

Watching my son grow, he is 2 and is becoming a real little cheeky chap. Always laughing and being a happy little boy.

Sitting for 20 mins peace with a cup of tea and a magazine

When my little ones say I love you xxx

What makes me happy is watching my grandchildren play through nearly closed eyes, when they think Nana is dozing after Sunday roast!

When I walk through the front door after work and my 2 year old shouts "mummy I'm here!" Then when I walk into the living room to see her she says "give me a cuddle!" With her arms flung wide open. I love it!

Little things that make me happy -

  • a sunny day.

  • hugs from my boys - they are all taller than me now, and give the best hugs!

  • finding some chocolate I'd forgotten I'd got! Grin

Watching my little girl eat - I can't express how that feels after she was diagnosed as failure to thrive 3 times and the battle we've had to get her treated by the healthcare system
(And watching her dance like a chicken to pharrell!)

What makes me happy? Being able to pick up my Grandson after 5 years of illness that made me too weak to do this. What Joy:)

Emrob86 · 13/10/2015 16:43

Lots of things! :)

Spending time with my family and friends, seeing my toddler laughing lots, her adorable smile and all the silly and funny things she does, watching her develop and learn new things every day, buying new books, enjoying a nice cake and coffee, having a glass of wine or a hot bubbly bath, sunshine, rainbows, summer rain and much more. :)

Having the time to sit and just enjoy my children. Doesn't have to be something big, can be watching them play or teaching them to bake cakes.

Playing with a dog always makes me laugh. They are natural comedians.

Playing Peekaboo with my baby. Or when she plants big slobbery, giggley kisses on my post-pregnancy belly.

My DD(2), precious rainbow - she said 'luv you mummy' for the first time the other day, that was one one my happiest moments. I love it when she laughs because we are laughing, or the change in her laugh when we join in! She genuinely is my little ray of sunshine - it's like she was given to us to make us happy again after our first born daughter died.
Happy is laughing, dancing and playing - forgetting, even momentarily, all the worries & stresses of life.
Sunshine, autumn leaves, clear crisp days walking through the woods and the park, then coming home to a log fire and hot chocolate. Can't beat it.
