What makes you feel good?

[julieevh]

I'm hoping to pinch a few good ideas if I am honest!

I'll pitch in with a few of my own.

Getting hugs and cuddles - from my family, boy friend, the dogs, the Osmonds (!)

Seeing a good film - there have been so many recently

Going to a concert - preferably on the front row, it might take me a week to recover but that is a price I willingly pay.

Sitting in the sunshine and watching the birds in my garden.

Keeping in touch with friends whether face-to-face, on the phone, email or facebook.

Waking up to sunshine and watching the steam train go by.

Designing and cutting out an new bear (I am a bear artist)

Hugs and chats with friends

Having a rare no pain day

Sitting and just really looking at things like flowers and trees, how often do we really stop and look?

Dancing, on the very rare days I can.

Having a bath without needing anyone to be with me.

Having a phone call from busy children.

Booking a holiday

Visiting friends and family

Oh so many things like hearing the children in the garden next door laughing and playing. I am generally a happy person so too many things to list make me happy.

most of the above, I think we have to grasp at whatever happiness the comes our way, in so many small things we'd never have thought would be our lives now, and be greatful to God, we are still here to enjoy his nature and sunshine, and even the sound of thunderstorms, very exiting and scary all in one, as long as you're not out in one. xx

My family happy and well

Peace and quiet

Looking at the sea

Walking our two dogs

Walking by the sea, along the shore

Hearing from my children

Smiles

Music

Hearing the dawn chorus with the birds singing

Looking at photos of my three children when they were small

Baking

Bubble bath with candles and chocolate

Pottering around in the garden

A glass of white wine

Hearing infectious laughter

The smell of someone else cooking

The smell of freshly cut grass

reading the above and being able to answer to them "me too" and not as the usual response to problems.
