serina_dsIt''s time for my monthly reminder to myself of all the reasons I have to be happy and grateful. Everyone who has met me will know that I'm a pretty cheerful person and this is one way I try to ensure that continues. I reckon everyone should do this, it would make the world a much better place.
Top 10 Reasons to be Happy:
1) I have a wonderful family - and I'm particularly close to my sister (I'm so proud of my little sis!).
2) My friends are really lovely.
3) I quite enjoy my job, and I'm good at it.
4) I have a comfortable lifestyle with the amount of money I earn. I have no financial difficulties.
5) I see my parents regularly and we try to have dinner together at least once a week.
6) I've been told I'm attractive, and I have no real hold ups about my appearance (except when reaching those top cupboards...!)
7) I'm currently enjoying reading three (very) different books. It's all stirring my creative juices...
8) I live in a comfy flat (especially my bed - I love my bed!)
9) I have an active (and pleasurable) social life. (^.^)
10) I'm alive! Just the odds against that alone are astronomical.
Bonus: Most important of all, is that I know how lucky I am. Many people feel stressed and unhappy mostly because they don't really consider just how lucky their life really is. I don't really want to change anything with my life - although if a rich, handsome gentleman would like to come sweep me off my feet, I won't complain! (^.^)
So here is my challenge to everyone: write a list of your own. Let the world know why you're happy!

Date: 2009-09-26 03:19 pm (UTC)...It's a start.
Actually, most people would start giving negative reasons as to why they are happy: I'm ot poor, I'm not ill, and so on.
I started doing that then stopped: the day is both cool and sunny - perfect for walking or cycling! - and I have the aftertaste of my partner's efforts as an amateur chocolatier: ex sloe-gin sloes in dark, dark chocolate flavoured with angostura bitters.
The perfect thing to greet you on returning from the garden from a refreshing practice of the Jo and bokken katas.
...Must get out and go to Polyday.
