I've had a tough day today and i know i've got a couple of tough weeks ahead but your replies have really made me smile.

I saw my new niece today, only 2 days old-she is beautiful! It's my husbands' sisters daughter. My husband and sister-in-law look very alike and the baby had the same cupid's bow lips, it made my heart melt!x

Thanks Nanners. You just did something to my eyes. I wont say what. I guess the point is, no matter how bad, there is always something we can find to make us smile. We may have to look very hard at times, but the real bad times pass and our mind has a way of glossing over them. The present is ever fleeting and if we get too caught up in the bad moments we will miss a great deal of the good things in life. So take that moment to look for something good. People like Nanners husband seldom make the 6:00 o'clock news but they are great news to her and others that know the wonders of life. We often forget that life is passing us by as we go through the hardships of this illness. I know there will always be those with worse lives and those with better, so I can only do what I can with this life, the life I was given. I choose to be as happy as I can. You guys are part of that happiness. Bringing a smile to you brings a smile to me. Thanks for giving me the chance. Thanks for the post Pippy.

Things that make me happy:
Other people's children - being theirs ( nono well I am single y'know )
Knowing all you guys are out there - because as long as there are people like you, the toilet paper companies will never stop manufacturing (yeah They can see they're on a roll with the product)
Feeling the summer's heat on my face ( eyes okay, so it is just that the rain here is warmer now, but by Scottish standards, that IS a heatwave )
Knowing that Sniper is out there somewhere, all the way across the Pond in Florida ( :-) if he lived next door to me, can you imagine how many new puns we would have to think of every day ? Better we divvy up the victim pool methinks... devil)
and last but not least, knowing that somewhere there is a person who, when I am thinking of starting a post on Healingwell about what makes you happy, has already done it. Thank you Pippy, anyone who saves me work is clearly a boon to the world ! tongue

:-) And it makes us happy to see you, Sno...

Hey Sno we have been out rabbit hunting for you~ So glad to hear from you again. Did the 'old computer finally get fixed? Hope all is well with you,
Posted 6/14/2008 7:57 PM (GMT 0)
I thought that those popping noises in my ears was the squirrels throwing pine cones at me Nanners, but no, it sounds like it was Sniper et al firing at me.... skull eyes
The old computer is still acting as a very valuable dust cover (saves me having to hoover a little bit of the floor, anyway ! tongue ), so for the moment I am restricted to using someone else's. That's fine for the next week or two anyway, I am house sitting so I can browse late at night when my brain finally wakes up and does literate/spelling stuff.
Another thing to be happy for - having a computer that will get you online, hours after the cybercafes and libraries have shut down, but just as your brain is waking up.... yeah I've been missing all my online buddies, it's great to be back.
nonoMy blood sugar levels have been bouncing a lot recently, so expect compulsive punning....! devil

Hi Snohare,,Look These people could use your help. I am annoying them to a fare thee well and there is no one to keep me in check. Even VV has given up. So whats the pun ishment for bad humor ???
Posted 6/15/2008 1:04 PM (GMT 0)
eyes And here was me hoping you would be giving ME a bit of covering fire !
confused Mmm, come to think of it, maybe if we made it me covering you...that would be punishment enough....devil....although with my marksmanship, I think the collateral damage would be pretty unpopular
nono Y'know, ricochets off the town hall bell, broken windows, flat tyres, stuff like that.
I'm afraid they are just stuck with you, as the President said at his site vist after the laboratory explosion, to the head of NASA's Glue Improvement Team yeah
It's the usual story...too much world, not enough me. tongue

It's very hard to see the good things every day, but it's the little things that count that many people miss out on, on a daily base. Some of the little things that make me happy are:

1.I'm happy to find the last parking spot which happens to be at the far end of the parking lot, because I have the ability to walk.

2.I'm happy when my niece rambles on(no matter how annoying), because I have the ability to listen.

3.I'm happy to know that when I stub my toe on my coffee table, which I do every day (although I never move it), that I can feel.

4.I'm happy when the phone rings off the hook because I know I have friends.

5.I'm happy when it rains, because I know my favorite flowers are being rejuvinated.

6.I'm happy that I felt pain at my childs birth, because It reminds me of what I went through for my beautiful baby girl. 

7.I'm happy to have to do my dishes because it means I have food to eat.

8.I'm happy to have laundry to wash because it means I have clothes to wear.

9.I'm happy to have a bed to make because it means I have a place to sleep.

10.I'm happy to pay my rent bill because it means I have a roof over my head.

11.I'm happy to live in Canada because I have freedom of speech.

12.I'm happy to wake up in the morning because it's another day in my life that I get to enjoy.

13.I'm happy to clean the dirty bath tub because I know I have the oppurtunity to shower when ever I feel like.

Those are just a few things that make me happy:)

I am happy to see so many of our veteran members posting again! Especially our resident joksters. I.E. Sniper, Snohare. They can at least bring a smile to our face on our bad days.
