My happiness journal

from here

For the last month i have recorded my happy moments in a single sentence each day, the lovely Naomi over at Seven Cherubs had this great idea (thank you so much for hosting this lovely little link up). I am oh so happy i joined in!

It has been a wonderful way of highlighting what i appreciate in life: Relationships with all the people dear to me and food (hehe), food + friends/family/my love are the happiest days!!!

Here is my month of happy:

Day 1 – 10^th April

I am happy for forgiveness and the weight that has been lifted off my shoulders by letting go of the anger and sadness.

Day 2 – 11^th April

I love how positive I am feeling and it is so nice to finally be getting things done.

Day 3 – 12^th April

I adore morning snuggles with my love, what a great start to the day.

Day 4 – 13^th April

Wandered the city on my lunch break, it was so nice to just be, look around and take in the world.

Happiness is: Vegemite on toast with my love.... and watching Wizz, Cos and Pen run crazy like around the house.

Day 9 – 18^th April
