What is making you happy today?

Home from school... feet up...
only a few weeks now to retirement... seeing DGC tomorrow and my 88 yr old Mum on Monday.
Loving my life but feeling a bit sleepy... zzz

Tanith, am so pleased to hear about your grandson, it sounds like good news. I did wonder how he was getting on.
Coconut, condolences on the loss of your brother, hard at any age ,

My thirty year old son is getting his first vaccine today ?

These are lovely uplifting posts. I got lots of irritating jobs done today and I feel so much better for it. Sat in the garden listening and watching the birds feeding. It's been a lovely warm sunny day, now having a glass of wine on the patio

My SIL is coming to stay tomorrow. First time we've seen her since March '20.

It's my DD birthday she is halfway around the world but hopefully coming home soon.
Been for a walk in a lovely country park the sun shone and the flowers were beautiful

Being able to sit out feel the warmth of the sun, look out at the mountains and all that I’ve accomplished. Enjoying the fruits of my labor

Great news Tanith, I’m so pleased. I have wondered but didn’t like to ask. That’s made me happy today.
Also, Orlin has made some shelves in my little studio so that I can tidy all my paints and other stuff away and have room to move. In return I’ve made a load of lasagne, chilli con carne and a few curries for the freezer so that he can have a few weeks off from the kitchen, although he tells me cooking relaxes him.
Just being part of a good team makes me happy every day.

Happy to have the best husband. We had a water line break where it goes into the house. He found it early, called city to shut off main line, and dug down 3 feet near the foundation to see where the problem was, and talked to neighbours to borrow from their water supply.

He has dug a trench from the house to the alley behind where the main line is, so it can be easily replaced. All this done yesterday! We are hoping plumbers arrive today to put in new line.

Also grateful for lovely neighbours that allowed us to attach a hose to their outdoor tap to supply water for us in the meantime.

DH is retired, but was working as maintenance in the local hospital for most of his career. He is very good at fixing issues and dealing with contractors!

Actually got some energy today that's a lot to be happy about. A beautiful day and a ? daiquiri after dinner only one though ?? ?

A day at the seaside in the South East and a swim in the sea. The moment is now, so I took a dip. It was so refreshing, I felt quite elated by the whole experience.

Keep Fit class restarting today-yay! Must remember to take it very easy. . .

The garden is looking lovely this year so that makes me very happy as I do all the work out there. DH said when we moved here- 'you want a garden then you do it!' He has no clue at all about gardening so that is my domain!
I even dug both the fish ponds while he was working away in USA. He was very shocked when he got back!! (couldn't do it now though).

I can hug my kids grandkids and very elderly parents who were so desperate for a big hug
My clematis is fantasic and my garden is blooming loverly
Just had my hair done so no longer walking round with a frizzy mop.
So much to be happy and grateful for

Like others on here, my garden is making me happy! I'm feeling content that I have finally got round to planting my leeks today after putting it off for a couple of weeks. And the delphiniums that I grew from seed last year are looking marvellous

So lovely to hear the good news about your grandson tanith!

Payback time from my garden. Absolutely stunning with a wheen of papaver and elegant multi coloured lupins. Such a joy with evidence of much more to come. Indoors, I've just further attacked a kitchen project and reckon I'm now a quarter way there. Also lovely contact from my son today which was a terrific kick start to my day. Oh yesssss.

Being able to hug my children an dgrtand child is heaven; how I've missed it. Is there anything more comforting than that?

Thanks Trisha57. Loving all your positive posts gardens certainly lift our spirits.

Praise the Lord, happily sitting with my husband, listening to news. Just finished garden work for today!

It’s been a busy week here, sorted a heap of paperwork today and it feels so good to have that job done. Mr. B took me out to Lytham this afternoon, lots of people enjoying the sunshine.

I have my eldest DD husband and 2 teenaged DGD here, for the last four days, while there house is being renovated and don’t feel stressed at all. Fingers crossed for the next five days.

Went to collect my 3 year old grandson and as I strapped him into his car seat he said”I love you Maji” in a quiet wee voice. All I could reply was”And I love you my Poppet”
How I managed to stop myself from bawling my eyes out I will never know.

The birds have finally decided that the RHS fat balls are worth trying. I’m getting the next lot from B&M. They’re cheaper and the birds like them better.

My GD who lives with me received a txt last evening to invite her for her vaccine today, she has just left.
It is only about 3 miles away and she is 22.
Great work NHS.
