Operation; Think Happy - The 1st Installment

Thank you Miss Holly Homemaker; aka - Mama Dearest/Domestic Goddess, for your inspiration!

The last few weeks, I have been pretty down,

Concentrating alot on the things that aren't going the way I want, rather than the beautiful blessings I am fortunate to have!

After reading the many other

'Operation Think Happy' topic blogs,

it made me realise something very important.

I need to be more grateful for the wonderful things I do have in my life, and focus less on the things that aren't going the way I'd like. I have so many wonderful things in my life, they need to take the number 1 spot, not the negativity.

So here's to goodbye Negativity and hello Positivity!

1.

Izaiah's good-morning smiles, each and every day when he sees my face when he wakes!

2.

Jumping on the bed with Khiarna and watching her face light up with every jump, as she repeats "Jumping, Jumping!"

3.

The ever-sweet and random good-morning texts from my hubby when he has gone to work.

4.

Listening to my two adorable children watching Dora - Izaiah squealing in delight, as his sister, Khiarna, copies everything that is said, word for word, english and spanish.

5.

Late night phone calls to Zoe, getting my vent on!

6.

Putting Khiarna to bed and having her say, without being prompted, "sweet dreams, I love you more", it melts my heart.

7.

Quiet time with Andrew, when both kids are asleep, or just quiet and entertained, just chillaxing together, making the most of the few minutes we get alone together.

There are many more things in life that I am grateful for, and that make me happy...

But they shall just have to wait until the next installment.

Until then, I will keep playing them over in my head, reminding myself of just how lucky I am, and how wonderful life really is!
