100 Days of Happy - Day 5
Its been a funny old Christmas really with the boys growing up and my family in decline.
I found some old photos on my computer and they really filled me with happiness at the memories of years, people and animals gone past.
A very relaxing day surrounded by my pets feeling so full of food I could burst!
Thinking of Christmas past.....
The dolls house my mum made for me out of cardboard boxes. The detail she added was phenomenal along with the furniture she made for me.
Creeping downstairs with my older brother in front and my younger one behind, trying not to wake our parents, overcoming obsticles my mum had put in the way supposedly to stop our dog Patch from getting Santa but really they were to try and keep us in bed.
Such happy memories.

100 Days of HAPPY Days 3 and 4
I didn't get an opportunity to write up my blog yesterday so I am combining days 3 and 4 of happy.
I was relieved to have completed all that I could for the Christmas festivities. I thoroughly enjoyed giving out gifts especially the ones I had made. I receive great pleasure in giving. I felt a bit sad though because losing mum and my not feeling well this year meant that I didn't make what I wanted too.
Wrapping gifts for my boys made me happy. Don't get me wrong.... I really don't enjoy wrapping but doing it for them makes me happy. I enjoy putting quirky messages on J's gifts and then arranging them just so.....
I took a great deal of pleasure in writing up my review for a blaster which I received via Amazon vine. I asked a special little boy to use the blaster on the condition that he produced a critique. This boy is 9 years old and the most sociable, chatty, engaging boy you could ever wish to meet. I honestly didn't expect a huge amount of detail.... but just look at this wonderful picture and write up.....
So many things to make me happy today, just where do I begin?
The wonderful gifts given to me in love which have brought me alot of joy because of the thought, care and love behind them.
Spending a couple of quiet hours with my J and watching him open his gifts.
Spending Christmas morning with cheeky Cola, even getting wet in the rain didn't dampen my spirits.
Watching my rabbit Bolt run around the garden for hours.... jumping, binking and generally loving life. During this time he was accompanied by some garden birds, a very busy male blackbird who kept jumping at my honeysuckle in order to retrieve berries then hopping over to the lawn to pick up worms. Some other birds flitted here and there. What amazed me was the fact that none of the birds were afraid of Bolt who continued to hop around the garden. I also didn't think that he had noticed the birds but he must have because he purposely went to investigate the honeysuckle where the blackbird had been feasting.
Cuddling with my dogs Pickles, Wilbur and Snowy..... Giving them their own Christmas dinner once we had finished ours then coming into the room to find them sleepy and content.
I am sure there is alot more happy to experience today but so far its been lovely.
Merry Christmas to you all. Bless you with healthy, love and joy now and always.

100 Days of Happy - Day 2
Routine visit to the Shooting Star unit today to see my oncologist. All went well, examinations ok. Being sent for routine bloods and refered to a therapist just to check if I am still sane!! Its always good to get these checks done and dusted so that I can enjoy the next year!
The oncologist was such a gentleman, makes such a huge difference when you are treated with kindness and respect.
Anyone who knows Wrexham Hospital knows how difficult it is to park, as I arrived I prayed to the Angels for a space and I got one straight away and in a great location. Thank you Angels.
While on my way into the hospital I saw an old friend from way back when. Put a spring in my step and a smile of my face.
I enjoyed a nice cuppa tea in the cafe as I watched people go about their business... I do enjoy people watching.
Put a chilli shepherds pie to cook for tea and Jason went out for some tiger bread and cellophane wrapping paper so that I can finish off the rest of my home made packaging.
Cola was in fine fettle and was quite happy to come into his warm stable today.
A really nice and happy day with lots of things to celebrate.

100 Days of Happy - Day 1
Lets start a 100 days of happy where I will post about something which made me happy on that particular day.
Happy Day 1!!!!
Hmmmm lots of things made me happy today....
Making and wrapping gifts for friends and family. I enjoyed packaging things... didn't like the wrapping part much but it has to be done.
Chatting with Joe and sharing some jokes. Its always good to smile and giggle if you can.
My friends horse Morris never ceases to make me happy. He is so cheeky and practically human! I swear that he can understand English and certainly knows what the word "carrot" means.
Watching Charlotte jump her horse Teddy - she is a talented rider and sailed over them like a dream.
Is that enough happy for one day?
