Happiness

Happiness

I just need to share this: for the first time in so very long, today I actually feel happy. Nothing particularly exciting happened - in fact something unpleasant occurred. It hasn't taken my pleasure away. I had a picnic lunch with another mother and our children. We sat in the sun, on some grass near a playground.
We initially sat somewhere else, and were moved on for being inadvertently on "private" land, but it didn't upset me. It was a simple, enjoyable time. And I feel happy. I think I'd forgotten how that feels.
I feel light. This is wonderful. Wow!

The happiness thread is now back and I'd like to encourage everyone to honor GothMum's original intention to use the thread as a place to acknowledge moments of happiness amongst the challenges that life sends our way.

Mine for today? A buttery slice of toasted banana bread with a cup of coffee. Sometimes it really is the small things 🙂
