Happiness of Life

WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY ...

Having a hug  - whether it is good times or bad
Allowing myself some free time to do what I want to do
Perfecting a poem to post on poetry soup
Planting seeds and watching them grow into beautiful flowers
Invitations to a special event such as a recent wedding we attended
Not having to get up early at the weekends!
Eating at my favourite restaurant with special friends
Seeing my son flourish at University
Spending time with family and friends

Off on holiday to distant shores
Feeling the sun on my skin

Lying back in a relaxing bubble bath at the end of a busy day
Indulging in a box of my favourite chocolates … mmmm 
Finding out my husband’s cancer was cured – best day ever
Every morning I wake up to face a new day – that sure makes me happy!!!
