Turn that frown upside down!

So I was planning to write a blog about how cack this week has been. How following a lovely mothers day, most of the family was struck down with a stomach bug which totally threw everyone's week off plan, made everyone feel pretty darn rubbish and resulted in me having to do two really long conference calls with a shouty 18 month old in the background.

However today is the international day of happiness and so I thought I'd actually take some time to think about the things that make me happy. Although I'm sure it could be much longer, here are some of the things that just make me feel good...

• My daughter's laugh
• My husband's silly sense of humour
• Dancing around the house with O
• Doing nice things for people
• Laying in bed reading
• Having freshly cut flowers in the house
• A really long shower
• Watching 'Some like it hot'
• Wearing red lipstick
• Watching O walk in her wellies
• Eating fajitas with friends
• Walking along the beach
• A hot bath filled with scented oils
• Listening to old French jazz in the sunshine
• Dancing to 70's disco music
• Wearing perfume
• Seeing cherry blossoms in full bloom
• French onion soup with thick slices of cheese on toast
• Knowing that next week I am on annual leave
• Listening to the sound of heavy rain whilst I sit in a cosy house
• Cinnamon scented candles
• Sunday afternoon naps
• Pretty much anything with a bretton stripe
• Looking at my engagement ring - it's just so sparkly!
• How O has started to give me really tight cuddles

It's quite a long list and I could go on.

What makes you happy? Let's end the week on a high!
