Happiness is all too often something we believe we can only get from the big moments in life. We search for it in the goals we set, but we need to remember how much joy we can find in the journey too. So today I am focusing on some of the big things, small things, and simple pleasures that had made me feel happy this week.

  • Making a lovely new connection with a mum from school.
  • My parents being married for 50 years today!
  • My two youngest deciding to give me a makeover yesterday, the blue eyeshadow was stunning lol.
  • My son dressing up in his daddy’s work clothes.
  • My daughters friend getting a great result from the doctor.
  • Washing my puppy.
  • Watching my daughter read for hours.
  • The warmth of the sunshine.
  • Catching up with a friend for coffee.
  • My teen chatting to me about what’s on her mind.
  • My ten year old editing this image and creating this message below.

Of course there are more things I could add. Life has plenty of ups and downs, but being grateful and making a list of happy things makes you appreciate the magic of everyday. What would you put on your list this week?

Thanks for joining me, love Mac xx
