Hi All,

A lot of people seem to be taking part in the 100 Happy Days initiative, so we thought let's start a thread on here so you can post what has made you happy during a day... in these busy and sometimes stressful times it's easy to forget that little thing that brightened your day up.

Let's start a positive thread and see what things have brought you happiness today and see if we can keep it going for 100 days... it's The International Day Of Happiness today too!

We'll kick this off... today we had a really big chocolate cake delivered to the office- all diets went out the window and it made us laugh- a lovely end to a hectic week!

Over to you....

It's so lovely reading all the happy moments every posted. I've realized that sometimes happiness is a choice, and even on days when I'm down I have to remind myself that if I don't cheer up on my own, nothing will take me out of my funk. Despite the humidity it's a beautiful summer ladies! Rbd87, would you mind sharing your email address here? I'd like to get in touch with you and get your advice on a post you have raised earlier? Many thanks

I have a gratitude journal & each evening I try to jot down silly things my toddlers have said or done... Keeps it all in perspective & although they can drive you bonkers, makes you grateful for them nonetheless!!!

I have been taking part in the ,#100happydays and I think it has made me realise that I am a naturally happy person and its the little things that make me happy..... the sun shining, a good workout at the gym, dinner made by the husband or a breakfast in bed. I am also happy to have the best family and most amazing friends.... happy, happy, happy :)

So many things to be grateful for! I have a job, some amazing set of friends and a closet that is full of books I absolutely love! What more could a girl ask for?

Had a 65th birthday meal out with extended family and friends for my DH in a local restaurant on Friday. We were all sat down and a plummy voice behind me said "would you like your wine poured sir"? My DH who was sitting opposite me glanced up without actually looking at the "waiter" and said "no thanks, just put it there please" pointing to a gap on the table. I glanced behind me and the "waiter" was actually our DS who had arrived secretly from Dubai!!!! Our DD had picked him up from the airport that morning. He was hiding in the disabled loo until we all arrived!! What a fab weekend we have had with him. He wasn't meant to be coming home again until July and during a Skype session with him earlier in the week he was apologising for the fact that he just couldn't get the time to come home for his dad's special birthday! He flew back to Dubai this morning. :) Oh Joyce that is just lovely :) Thats so lovely. I always do surprises. I flew my eldest DD and Mum over last year for our youngest daughter surprise. Mum and DD were hiding in a hotel, then we all met at Grand Habtoor, hubby and I walked outside and DD said what are you doing here, ( it was hubbys birthday and we had said we going go carting and she thought we were in Doha). once she got over the shock, out walked my mum and other DD. She didnt know whether to laugh or cry.... it was classic.

Happiness is the the day you realise you have managed at last to finish all the blooming creme eggs.

Seeing the sunshine made me happy. Like every day! Seeing my blooming desert roses made me happy. The touch of the cold side of the pillow when I turned over in the morning made me happy. I decided years ago to make an effort to notice the everyday beauty. Happiness is a mindset.
