40 days of happy: day 25

Sweet girly drinks make me happy!.... But only temporarily ... So not sure if that counts....

40 days of happy: day 24

Sweets. Depends on what I'm craving at the time. Chocolate makes me happy.

Well, jeepers, aren't I on a roll for posts today...

40 days of happy: day 23

Fresh flowers make me really happy. 

(I'm not sure if I said this already, but if I did, that's how much it makes me happy).

I've never really gotten any from any significant others or a bf before...

So you can imagine how happy that would make me when I do get some from a bf... One day...

How easy is that huh? Pretty simple, I'm not an extravagant type of gal ... If they only knew...

40 days of happy: day 22

Vacation and staycation days make me happy. 

Gots' me some of those days today and tomorrow! Whoo hoo! 

40 days of happy: day 21

Gez I'm falling behind with this.

Today my aviators make me happy. And to wear them, there also needs to be a sunny day. Bonus happy!

You know that time when your parents refused to let you have something or go somewhere when you were younger and it felt so frustrating and upsetting that you felt you hated them and they must have hated you, for them to actually do that to you?

Years later you realize it's really because they cared and loved you so much that they did their best for you so you could move on and be happy later on.....

You just never realized how much they cared. 

40 days of happy: day 20

Treats from my patients make me happy!

... In this case early Easter chocolates 

Love, seems so elusive...

A quote I remember from a random book I picked up at the store many many years ago... Somehow it stuck in my head... Not so sure I got the meaning of it right... But it stuck.

When it is in it's utmost truthfulness : to be loved and to give love, is to feel alive...

40 days of happy: day 18and day 19

Not only am I blessed with a great mom, I am also blessed with a great sister in law....talking to her and spending time with her makes me happy!

And art makes me happy... Being able to try to paint, draw and appreciate art from others as well makes me happy!

(Paintlounge yesterday :)

40 days of happy: day 17

Home makes me happy.

Home meaning visiting my folks place. So thankful I grew up in the burbs.

Sometimes when things seem hectic and crazy downtown or ppl seem a bit off... It's always nice to go visit where things were less complicated and childhood innocence memories remain.

Actually, my mom said not to call their place home anymore since I have a home of my own now. 

She said to call their home "the cottage".

Btw this huge cat was lazily lounging on the fence, did not budge no matter how much I tapped on the window pain. Thought it was dead. Or a baby bear. Or a gigantic squirrel. 

40 days of happy: day 16

Been craving cookies all week.

Lemon crinkle home made cookies... For breakfast ?!?

Cute

Side note:

62 year old patient of mine came in for an insole adjustment.

He was more than happy to also make sure that I know he started dating another elderly widowed patient of mine.

"We are seeing each other now, like boyfriend and girlfriend, you know"

Ha

He seemed so happy. 

Almost like he was a young kid telling me this.

How cute. 

40 days of happy: day 15

My moms bday is today. 

I'm so thankful for her.... Funny we don't think too much about this when we are growing up and having disputes. 

I attribute the good stuff about who I've become, to her. 

I'm thankful for what she has taught me and for guiding me along the way, showing me good values and for her being a great mom. 

Wishing her many blessings of love and good health and long life. 

My mom makes me happy and thankful. 

40 days of happy: day 14

Reading the life quotes that ppl have written makes me happy. 

40 days of happy: day 13

Freshly squeezed OJ! 

40 days of happy: day 12

Royal Alexandra theatre

Last time I remember I was here was grade 10 to see Les miserables.

Today American idiot.

Pretty good. Not too keen on the storyline. Great voices during the solos! 

40 days if happy: day 11

Walking back to my friends condo, these young guys were passing us in the lobby ...... And his friends were trying to talk to him ... But our eyes caught sight of each other and all he said, looking at me was "wow, she is beautiful!"

- bahahahah !  Don't really think that of myself but hey, at this age, a nice compliment from a handsome young man is definately welcome and appreciated.

So random.

40 days of happy: day 10

The independence and confidence and appreciation gained by private practice.

40 days of Happy Day 3

Picture before my flip on my ass!

Today it supposively plus 2 C! Clear sunny skies!  March break for the kiddos.

 

I'm happy my dad took me skating when I was 6 years old. I'm sure he was learning himself being that he grew up in a tropical place. Thank you dad :) 

So beautiful out! Sunshine on my face. It makes me happy now, when before as a youngster I would shy away from it. 

40 days of Happy, Day 2

Who won Porter Airline tickets??
That would be lil' ol' me.
Thank you Rouge UW... Im guessing it may have been my last year there.... who knows, fun times!
This was a surprisingly happy event today.
Thankful I got to wear a dress and spent a great night with good friends.

Another thing that made me happy today is going to my real estate info session. It's not an ordinary RE session.

It takes me away for a bit and inspires me to do more for myself and future ....  Shows me I have more control Over it than I thought. Surrounded by inspiring people with integrity and good values and is, in itself, an investment in my knowledge. It also makes me think about my personal life to some extent - and the values of others that I meet in every day life.

40 days of happy! Day 1

Taking this challenge from a fellow Fb friend...

"Life is a journey, not a destination"

She said :

Along this journey, there will be challenges and setbacks, you don't have to dwell on them. You can choose to be happy....

Day 1:

I found myself needing to clear my head and maybe say stuff that needed to be said or just reflect. I found myself going to a place where, in an instant in time, I was at one of my most happiest!

I went to see the remains of a great snowman named Jean Francois. 

I was glad to see his bottom half was still pretty solid - A good foundation weathering the elements and vandals. Reminded me of the great strong guy who made this largest part. I had to help him push it in the end. haha!

Jean Francios still had his coffee and I left my writing on the snow.

I looked up to see a shining star (or planet, who knows) through clear skies. 

Then standing in silence, I could hear the sound of blades glazing across the ice!

Who knew there was a rink just behind the pool! ( I hardly go here) And apparently they just opened it again - the man and his son skating that night explained it to me. 

Luckily, I still had my skates in the trunk.

.... These things, and being lucky to have such happy memories are what made me happy today.

Feb 1 2014

One of the happiest days I have had in a very long time. 

I'm glad it was captured by the person who made it so happy.

Sad looking back at it. But will always be so very thankful I was blessed with that day. 

Here's to more happy days ahead for everyone.
