32 Things That Make Me Happy

This weeks been a little bit of an odd one and I've been feeling a little off. Not sad as such, but not crazy happy either. In reality I know my weeks been pretty good I've had loads of nice work and subsequent funtime adventures with my work chums,  but there has also been loads of not blogging and an awful lot of missing my Canadian bestie. A mixed bag you could say. So when I saw that Erin over at Two Thirds Hazel and Sarah at Venus Trapped in Mars were hosting a 32 things that make me happy link up I just had to hop on board. As I've said before It's really important to take the time to stop and smell the roses.

At first, feeling the way I am today I thought 32 was an annoyingly large number of happy things, but thinking like that what was the point of even taking part. So I got down to it and by number 10 I was feeling a 1000 times better about everything. Taking the time to remember the little happy things really does change everything. 

Venus Trapped in Mars

1) Spring finally showing up to the party - we might still have April showers to get through but it's only gonna get sunnier from here.
