I am feeling in a happy mood, loving everything, the sun is shinng and Stuart is coming to stay next week... I feel happy and as I was lying in bed last night I was thinking of things we take for granted that make us happy, I had planned to go feed the ducks with Mam and Tara today and those sort of things are just so simple and enjoyable and make us happy.
So, some things that make me happy (please note this list is not exhaustive and is subject to change at any time):
laughter - I like to laugh of course, we all do, there is some medical reason that when weare already happy and smiling and laughing it releases a chemical or something to make us happier, but I just do love laughing, and just as much, if not more I love the laughter of other people, in particular children. Oh babies gurgles and toddlers chuckles just make me so happy! And laughing so much you cry, that is the best... did that this morning actually as I was being chased by a butterfy!
bed - love my bed, I love being all snug and warm, I love being lazy! I love the various things that you can get up to in bed(with another person preferably!) I love being comfortable and feeling relaxed. Yes, bed is a great place and getting into your own bed after a holiay or something is just such a nice feeling, I love it!
food -mmmm,crisps, bread, cheese, cake, trifle.... the list could go on and on! OK we all love food, nothing weird or wonderful or exciting about that but I just have to put it on the list. I am not a person who eats to be happy, or to be comforted really but there is something about good food that just makes us happy. Also, love, love, love food programmes like Come in with Me, Masterchef and the Hairy Bikers... not as much as my stepdad who watches millions of food prgrammes (Nigella a fave, I wonder why!) but food leads to these funny programmes and especially now I am not working these programmes are a welcome distraction!
people - obviously I love my family and friends! But I love the crazy randomness of folk! I love to meet new people, talk to people from different places and culures and I love to people watch! A great hobby, I trained hard in the art of people watching in Greece and Italy and now feel at home watching people wherever I go! I love to look at what people wear, what they do and how they react to things! yes, nothing more entertaining than watching people (also why I love Come Dine with Me, jut as much about people as food if not more so!)
being pregnant (most of the time) - being pregnant so far is a pretty enjoable experience, somehing so new and different and each week something new is happening. I am finding out so much, about my body and my baby and it is fascinating.I am also just so excited about the end product of these nine months that even the bad parts, like heartburn, are fine because I know I am going to be a mammy in a few months and that just makes me happy and I love the thought of having a baby, someone to love and take care of. I also love the idea of being part of a family in a new way, as mammy with daddy Stu, we are maing plans and while some of it is stressful we are enjoying our journey. Stu will be such a wonderful dad and that too makes me SO happy, I can't wait to see it all happening. My mam will be a great grandma ( I mean a very good one)and I love thinking how lucky my baby is!
Well, there are lots more things that make me happy, writing this blog included but now I have to go.... love you xxx
