Happy Happy Thoughts

Happiness is not having what you want. It is wanting what you have. ~ Unknown

Everyone has their days where everything just goes wrong, the world is against us and we want to curl up under our duvet and pray it goes away. Some people have these days more than others. I have had my fair share of these days, and I’m pretty sure I’ll have many more.
As of late, I have been trying my hardest to focus on all the positives in my life, to make me realise that Hey, life ain’t so bad! I compiled a list of all the good and great things in my life, and it really helps to pull me out of the darkness that sometimes looms.

My list is simple and pretty straightforward. Having these written down makes me see much clearer.

1. I have a wonderful mother, father and brother , whom I love so much, and would do anything for them.
2. I have a fantastic boyfriend, who works hard and cares for me.
3. I have six close friends, whom I would trust with my life.
4. I live in a warm, comfortable house, which has beautiful stone features (something I’ve always wanted).
5. I have a part-time job that gives me access to concerts and events.
6. I am generally very healthy, and am working towards making myself fitter.
7. I have food in my kitchen, fuel for my fire and two wardrobes, crammed with clothes.
8. I have a great doctor, whom I can talk to about anything.
9. I have been in love, been loved, am in love and have love.
10. I am only 23 and I have fantastic memories already.

I realise how lucky I am to have these things, and not a day goes by where I don’t appreciate them at some point.
