My Abundant Life: What Makes You Happy ? October 2014

Just the other night Jessica came in to kiss me goodnight as she usually does. We started talking about what makes us happy. Earlier that day I'd wrapped more Christmas presents and was feeling very happy about being so organised this year. Jessica said that ( raw ) carrots and bubble wrap make her happy and she'd like them in her Christmas stocking. We had a good laugh over that and continued talking about other things that make us happy. There are so many things that make my family happy. Nothing big or expensive. Mostly it's the simple things that brings a smile to our face.

As I was at work today I kept thinking about this topic. Then it came to me. I should start a new post for all of you to share the things that make you happy too. We live in a world that likes to dwell on the negative. I prefer to have a postive outlook on life. So once a month I'll put up a new post that gives you all the opportunity to share your happiness.

I'm putting the challenge out there for anyone who reads my blog to take the time to post three things that make you happy. Please keep in mind that this will be a regular post so don't list everything in one go. Keep us coming back for more !!!!

Three things that make me happy -

* My miniture tea set / tea pot collection. I've been fascinated with small tea sets since I was about 6 or 7. I bought my first small tea set when I was eight. Then I started collecting them about five years ago Every time I look at them I feel so happy inside. When visitors come they like to look at them too. They bring a smile to everyone's face and that makes me happy all over again.

* Darren pickng some flowers from the garden for me. At the moment I have iceberg roses on my bedside table.

* Cuddles and kisses from my girls. They are 17 and 14 and I know I'm blessed to have that affection from them.
