Happy 101

Many thanks to Kate from Recent Treats for my very first tag.

I've been asked to post 10 things that make me happy, and do at least one of them today, then link the person who tagged me and pass it on to 10 others (or 5 in my case).

Well after some thought, here goes ....

Above all, my family makes me happy. It's rare now for us to be together, so when we are it's a time to savour. I miss the days when there were four settings at the table. Our dog Inca, who, for the last two years has entertained us and driven us crazy, but has changed our lives for the better and gives us unconditional love.

Looking at old photographs - they tell the story of our lives. I'm so glad I took so many photographs when the children were small. It would make me even happier if they were all sorted and labelled and not in such a jumble.Walking in the Lake District with my husband and now our dog. It is truly 'God's Garden' and it never fails to lift my soul. Spending time in my 'Craft Room' - it's a tiny, tiny room but it's my own space where I can craft to my heart's content, where I can scrapbook and make cards,where I can try things out, where I can be messy, where I can think, where I listen to my favourite music...where I easily lose all track of time. Everything about Paris makes me happy.
Blue skies and sunshine gladden my heart ..... not blistering hot ...just pleasantly warm. Reading .... newspapers, magazines, books and now blogs. So much to read, so little time
Being near the sea .... I love walking along a beach at the water's edge. I love watching waves crashing onto rocks. I rarely do this now, but it conjures up childhood memories.Quarter past three on a Friday afternoon - no explanation needed!
Have a lovely weekend, and I hope that if you're getting tired of the snow, it will all get a little easier soon. xxxx
