Silly_Girl Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Thanks OWoman I am happy it's Friday I am happy myself and my closest colleague have got through a horrendous week at work and supported each other as friends should I am happy that my son does not have a rugby match early Sunday morning now (thanks coach, for cancelling!) I am happy that my boyfriend and I are going to finally get out in the garden this weekend and start preparing it for the summer, when I hope to see it filled with family and friends and happy, energetic children. I am happy my best friend is going in to the last 4 weeks of her pregnancy as I know she's keen to just 'get it over with'. Link to post Share on other sites
mbm69 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I love this thread! I'm happy that after 10 years of feeling trapped, I now have options that I never dreamed were possible. I am able to dream again. I got a job offer in a city that I love which could be the start of a new life. Selling my house in the suburbs and living in the country is now more than an impossible dream. I'm happy that my SO has thought of our anniversary tomorrow and has scheduled a babysitter for the evening so we can go out just the 2 of us I'm happy because I have friends who truly appreciate me and love me for who I am Link to post Share on other sites
seren Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) Happy Saturday everyone, Had a lovely lunch yesterday on the banks of the Thames watching the boats go by and scoffing steak and kidney pie. H as usual polished off half of mine as well, watching him eat makes me smile, he is so greedy!! I found a whole kit bag full of every letter, card, invite and champagne corks that me and H have shared over 26 years, he kept them all. Sat reading the early letters and was happy that the sentiment or passion hasn't changed in all this time. I have been advised to wear a corset for my popped disc, hmm, told H, who was ecstatically happy, showed him the medical corsets, hmm not so, so am compromising and have a 1940's pull it all together job, now to break out the stockings. I predict a happy house Now to put on the coffee, heat some croissants and go back to bed for a happy Saturday morning. Happy Days all xx Edited March 5, 2011 by seren spelling..tis early Link to post Share on other sites
tft Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 From a cosy lil house in Cymru.... I'm happy to be watching the woodpecker at his bird feeder eating his breakfast. I'm happy that we're having my favourite breakfast any moment now. I'm happy my man is able to make me laugh till I cry over the silliest things. I'm happy to have spent a wonderful day with my bff yesterday, even though the day went nothing like we expected! Im happy to be imminently going off to visit a country I've never been to before, albeit for work. I'm happy to be visiting my 'in laws' later, they are such a warm and loving family, which they welcome me into. I'm happy to see that there is 28 pages of peoples happiness on this forum, and I'm happy OWoman started it. Have a lovely weekend everybody! Link to post Share on other sites
Author OWoman Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 I'm happy that I saw blossoms on a cherry tree, and a pair of blue tits courting in the garden. Spring can't be toooooo far away!! I'm happy that my H knows just what to get me to bring a smile to my face. I always used to dread birthdays and gifting occasions before, but his gifts are always spot on! I'm happy that I found my misplaced CD and that I love the music on it. I'm happy my H does too. I'm happy so many sheep in the neighbourhood are pregnant, and I'm even happier that I'm not!!

Author OWoman Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 I'm happy that the garden birds are so tame they take food from our hands now. I'm happy that my new project is sprinting ahead. I'm happy that my H and I continue to love and cherish each other above all else. I'm happy to have so much love in my life :love: Link to post Share on other sites
seren Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I am stuffed full of Shrove Tuesday pancakes, I hate feeling stuffed full of food, but I sure love pancakes with lemon and sugar. My popped discs have popped back in, Yay! Which means game on ... double Yay and very happy. We have began the packing of boxes, much to sort out, much to get rid of and much that I love that will have to go to a new home. Downsizing is hard for a collector of stuff. We have our last ball this month, I am thinking a tuxedo jacket, a beautiful, french cuffed, standy up collar white shirt, with my bee cufflinks, a long fitted black skirt and killer heels. I hope no one thinks I am a Transvestite waiter!! Time to begin the beautification (no not sainthood) in good stead. Balls, the dancing kind, make me very happy. I am getting an Oriental Black kitten when we have settled in, I love Orientals, the dogs may begin taking vallium, but I shall be happy. Happy days all - hoping everyone smiles more than frowns, think of the wrinkles x Link to post Share on other sites
Silly_Girl Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I am happy (and proud) that my teenage son has been picked to look after the boy who is due to return to school after an absence caused by bullying. My lad has always had that side to him and was mentor in primary school to the most difficult younger pupils, but it never fazed him. I am happy that since my bout of depression (and how open I was with friends and family once I realised what had happened to me) my mum feels able to sometimes share with me how hard she is finding the smallest of things. (Obviously I am not happy she is depressed but I have wished her to seek help all her life and the tiniest bit she shares is a positive thing, to me) I am happy that the emergency data rebuild at work means we can restart our year end tasks and have a slim chance of meeting our deadlines. I am happy the sun shone lots more today than I remember in a very long time. I am happy that I feel the most fulfilled in my love relationship than I have ever felt before in my whole life. I didn't know a relationship could be like this... I am happy that my son has is relieved to have lodged his GCSE options on the school website and his teachers support his choices, and the reasoning, despite him taking a slightly different path. I am happy they say that with hard work he could achieve really great things in life and that he is well-behaved and kind. I am happy that my favourite friends (and my sister), for the first time I can ever remember, all appear to be in stable, loving and positive relationships. I've read that back a couple of times and it makes my heart swell. How wonderful. I'm very lucky. :love: Link to post Share on other sites

findingnemo Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 This thread has made me very happy. How nice to see that life is not just about the bad things and that so much good exists. In my life: I am happy that 2011 is a new year in which I am more comfortable being me. I began this year in full love and acceptance of myself. I am happy that my baby (now 2 yrs) started going to play school and is beginning to express himself clearly. Especially the word "NO". I am happy that I have let the anger go. I was soooo angry and sooo bitter about stbxh. I couldn't understand what happened to me. I am happy that I now accept that it had nothing to do with me, that I did not deserve it. The burdens of shame and guilt are gone. I am happy that my business is doing very well and that I have come out on top. My first project is done and I am embarking on my next one. I am happy that I am now accepting how I feel about the love of my life. I am happy that I am not fighting it anymore. It was quite exhausting. I am happy that I quit smoking for real, for ever. It's only been 11 days but I know that this is it. Link to post Share on other sites
Author OWoman Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 I'm happy that I had such a wonderful day yesterday, and happy to be blessed with a loving H who's so well versed in all the languages of love :love: Link to post Share on other sites
seren Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Insomnia strikes again, which for once makes me happy as I have orders for bridal cuffs I am waay behind on. We have started packing! I have been asked to take on a part time job in our new location, pay is fabbydoo, now all I have to do is remember to keep my mouth zipped. If I get it, I shall be happy (ier). H is becoming quite the house husband, haven't brewed coffee in a week as he does it. Mind you he has packed most of the pots and pans so I am not anticipating cooking from him ... yet. I am typing while wearing my jammas and fab new shoes, they need breaking in. Black patent KG's, classic, beautiful and a killer on the feet, but they are so pretty. Happy shoes, happy days. Oh and check out the Pandora's website, lovely frillies and all things vintage in the lingerie department. Not a spam post, just a sharing of loveliness. Happy Saturday, now back to beading ...

tami-chan Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I am HAPPY because I have been back to work for a week after being laid up for a couple of weeks. I am HAPPY that everybody at work is so nice to me and my colleagues continue to help me out with my work load. I am HAPPY that my exH came to see me at the hospital and we had a very pleasant conversation. I am happy that he did not mention to me that he "bumped" into my SO (xMM) at the lobby and he chose to come back hours later to see me because he was in town for a few days(thus have more time to me see "later") and my SO is only here in town for a few hours. I am happy that my SO did not mention it either. I am happy that both of them mentioned it later when I was a lot better and both said their exchange was civil and mature . I am HAPPY that my SO made several trips to see me and tried very hard to "take care" of me "long distance"...so cute.. I am HAPPY that my daughter chose to go to Europe to see the "museums" again with her cousin than go to the usual spring break hang out with her friends. Or am I being naive I am HAPPY that 13 hours has passed since that last call I got that is work-related...ooppss I probably jinxed it now Link to post Share on other sites

Silly_Girl Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I have had some tragic news about a friend who has passed away today, aged only 44. A genuine good guy. It has shocked us all. And, I hope no one finds this distasteful, it is not meant to be so... it makes me happy to think that if something happened to me tomorrow I have enjoyed a remarkable and special bond with my son and he has shone light on my life since I was just 20 years old, and I have known true love. I could not complain if I was taken at the same age my friend Gary was stolen from us. We love you, Gary. Link to post Share on other sites
Ms. Red Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Ahh SG....hang in there Babe. It will get better. [[[Hugs]]] my friend. =^-^= Link to post Share on other sites
seren Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 ((SG)) Sad for your loss of a friend, happy that you have good memories of him and have a lovely son. I am happy that my H is home each day, even though he drives me potty at times. Just looking at him makes me smile, I just love being in love, after all these years together he still floats my boat. I am sort of happy that I have yet another consultant, now to wait for yet another diagnosis! Sod the diagnosis just get fixing the problem. We have wild violets in the garden, I love violets, my favourite flower, they make me so happy. I am reminded that such delicate things force their way up through the earth and it makes me think that the things that are the hardest fought are often the most beautiful. I have to pack up all my lovely dresses, I have so many, so many with the labels still on and wonder when I will get the chance to wear them out in the middle of nowhere in the cold, frozen North? Hmm, I predict silk dresses and wellies will become a trend. I love my frocks x Happy days all, now to go to the mobile chip shop for Fish, Chips and mushy peas, hmmmmm how happy am I?

Author OWoman Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 (((((hugs))))) SG!!! Seren, Scotland does get one or two days of summer a year, so don't pack away your dresses just yet! I am happy that we saw some buds on a couple of trees along the river earlier, so spring may eventually arrive. I'm happy the equinox is only a week away and I'm happy that my H is cooking supper tonight so that I can swot up for my test. Link to post Share on other sites

Author OWoman Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 I am happy that I am getting so many invitations to speak at conferences, even if I am turning most of them down. I am happy that I have career options - even if the decisions are tough I am happy that I have such a wonderful H who is so supportive and caring! Link to post Share on other sites
seren Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Oh OWoman, how I miss the speaking at conferences, the feeling of holding an audience is such a powerful thing. Happy that you are regarded in such high esteem in your job that you are asked. Career choices are always good, even if difficult, I admit to sometimes accepting a change more for prestige and interest only to wishing I had stayed in the more challenging role. I too have had a job offer, very interesting, part time, in Scotland for oodles of dosh. Happy days eh? I had the weeps today, totally self indulgent pity party about getting older and the face in the mirror not how I am inside. Thank God for H and his flattery and understanding. Thank God too for L'Oreal, tomorrow and a new hair dye. I shall be worth it! I may even spray tan my legs. I am a pale redhead well greying until tomorrow. new hair colour makes me happy. I have a sleepy Lab on my legs (on the sofa shhhh) one snoring at my feet and now to have a brandy and gooey chocolate pud. Thing with insomnia, I get to eat the treats and have time to digest before bed and putting my cold hands on H. Happy Days all xx Link to post Share on other sites
