#100happydays

This week I have so much to be thankful for - and happy about.  Since starting #100happydays on 1st April, I have found so many things that make me happy during the day - even on the cr*p days.  This challenge has shown me that there is definitely happiness to be found during the day every day of the week - no matter how bad things seem to be.

These are my #100happyday photos from the past week :

Day 3 - tickets to John Edward 

(I love this man and his ability)

Day 4  -sunrise in the loungeroom

Day 5 - a winning scoreline at 3/4 time

that grew by the end of the game

Day 6 - seeing someone use a quilt I made

as the evenings get a little chilly

Day 7 - after a few really bad nights of sleep,

my bed never looked this good !

Day 8 - not having to cook - YAY !!!

Day 9 - sitting on the swing chair on the deck

watching K on the ride on

Linking up with Rhianna for Thankful Thursday and so glad that my work is almost done as I go on leave for two works tomorrow.

Have the best Thursday EVER !!!

What are you thankful for this week 

or 

what has made you happy ?

TFTD :  When it comes to choices and change, always do a gut check.  What do YOU want to do ?  What would make YOU feel joy, passion, healthy or on the right path ?  Do that.  No other opinions are needed.

Thankful Thursday

It's been a while since I joined in with Rhianna forThankful Thursday, not because I haven't been thankful but because I haven't really had the time.  Who knew moving would be so exhausting and take so long ?  Who knew that we would have to get rid of some of the stuff that we moved because there is just not enough room for everything - especially 'stuff' we don't use and are keeping for 'just in case'.  And for this I am thankful, truly, because we have been able to get rid of stuff based on space available so things we were keeping 'just because' have had to be culled.  This is a good thing !

Anyway, this week I am thankful that K was accepted into the Au Pair program that she applied to and has already had one family make contact as they are interested in hiring her to look after their children.

While I will miss her dreadfully when she is gone, I am thankful for the great opportunities this will expose her to and the different cultures she will learn about.   I am thankful that she will get to experience a completely different way of life (I just hope she will be happy to come home to our little humble abode given the house she will be living in if this family decides they would like her to look after their children - a mansion is a bit of an understatement !!!)

I am thankful that she has grown up into a mature young lady who is ready to move overseas and stand on her own two feet (to a certain extent) and take responsibility for two children (or one child and one teenager to be more specific).

I am thankful for telephones and computers and skype which will allow us to stay in contact with her.

I am thankful that we will be in a position to go over and visit her while she is there because, while we can stay in contact by phone and skype, nothing compares to a really big, really squishy, really tight hug.

What are you thankful for today ?

Have you joined in with Rhianna ?

What are you waiting for ?

My day 2 #100happydays photo is 

How could knitting needles with this smiley face

not make you happy ?

Have a terrific Thursday !

Happy for 100 Days ?

I must be honest, when I saw this I didn't think I could be happy for 100 days but when I read the website, I realised that I didn't have to be happy 24/7 for 100 days - it's about finding a moment in each day that makes you happy.  And you know what, I can find at least one thing to be happy about every. single. day !

I have signed up to start today (A new month, a new beginning).  Please feel free to follow me on Twitter with the hashtag #100happydays and also to ask me what is going on if you don't see any photos being posted by me !!!

This little man makes me happy 

and is my first #100happydays photo !

(I hope he lands up with a very shiny belly

as clients rub his tummy)

And I hope that this entrance (minus the weeds 

when we can get to them) will make clients to 

The Body and Feet Retreat happy !  There will

be candles in the lanterns as soon as I can find

glass holders that will fit in there.

How about you ?  

Can you find one thing to be happy about every day ?  

I'd love to follow you if you decide to join in so please let me know.

Have a fantastic week !

TFTD : Letting go doesn't mean you don't care about someone anymore. It's just realising that the only person you really have control over is yourself.
