What more could anyone want?




Bliss is
Waking up a little late and finding sunshine pouring in making the crystals hanging in the window throw rainbows around the room.

Happiness is
Going for a walk in that same sunshine and realising that it is absolutely not cold.

Contentment is
Having enough time to have coffee with cream and a croissant before work

Joy is
Putting on my big winter coat, scarf and gloves, putting Pat Metheny, Offramp on the stereo and getting the roof down, and driving the 27 miles to work down the country roads.

Happiness is
Seeing the donkeys in the field near home and the deers half way to work and saying Hello to them as I pass by.

Contentment is
All my clients turning up and my doing a good job with them.

Joy is
Getting some more daffodils to put around the house.

Bliss is
Youngest son turning up with my very favourite chocolates ready for Mothers Day on Sunday.I can only look at the box till then!

Happiness is
Knowing my big son will be here for the weekend to celebrate his brothers 19th Birthday and Mothers Day

Is that your car? Lucky you! Now, your Mother's Day is this Sunday? Ours is in May and I wish all my children could be here to celebrate. Love your list.

Trix looks so sophisticated and peaceful. Like the car and LOVE your list. Envy you for not having snow but Spring in teh air. We had -16Celsius last night and expect similar tonight. Hugs

Wow Byrd - I want your drive to work! No deers and donkeys for me, it's run down pubs and mattress factories, in a little Mitsubishi Mirage. What? No offer to swap? ...and how good is your control not ripping open those chocolates til Sunday. Who has that much control! I'm impressed!Very. Oh,and your new heading is beautiful.
