Reasons to be cheerful

Happy Day - Let's be cheerful, things could always been worse
March 26, 2007 6:05am CST
The sun is shining and the birds are singing. It is a lovely spring day and feels warm outside. I have managed to go without a cigarette for a few days now and that is a reason for me to be cheerful. Ok, so we all have our problems and troubles, but I believe we all have at least one reason to be cheerful. What's yours ?

We have decided to sell our house and move back out into the peace and quiet of the countryside. Between my hubby and myself, we couldn't agree on a location so, to-day, we finally compromised and now he has decided to take a couple of days off work at the weekend so that we can go house hunting.

Fantastic news hun, I would love to move out of the city now, maybe in a couple of years when life has settled down a little more. Sounds like you guys will have a great weekend, and I hope you find your perfect house.

It's good to hear about your continued success! And it does seem like spring sprang suddenly a few days ago. Little flowers are popping up everywhere. The end of winter is always a reason to be cheerful.

Very true, the end of the winter season and the beginning of the spring is a great time of year. YAY for positive thoughts, BOO for negative thoughts.

My reason to be cheerful is that finally I have some orders for my jewellery and I am really busy this week making and creating which I love to do. That in itself makes me happy! lol

Firstly congrats on going without a ciggie for a few days, long may that last! Things that make me cheerful. 1 having a wonderful mother that is like my best friend 2 A great boyfriend that I can trust with my life 3 Great genuine friends around me 4 Having the ability to choose what I do in my life and living in a country with that freedom to choose most things in life. 5 Nature that surounds us every day, getting up and hearing bird song, maybe watching the squirils play There is so much more that I can be greatful for but if I listed everything I would write too much lol Lynn-Marie

Way To Go! I am SOOOO proud of you hun that you are still going smoke free :) The reasons I'm cheery today are ... 1) I have a beautiful daughter that I love with all my heart. 2) I have a great husband whom I also love with all my heart. 3) I feel great today as I am on day 8 of being smoke free and I can physically feel the difference. 4) I have great, supportive, awesome family and friends on here and offline! 5) It's a nice day and I get to go for a walk! 6) I am saving money because I have chosen to be healthier and quit smoking! 7) I have a roof over my head, food in the fridge and cupboards, all of the bills are paid, and gas in the car! 8) I am going to get a dog soon!

A friend of mine once said "I love kids, I just can't eat a whole one" - LOL I look at the photograph of my son and it cheers me up a lot.

Well my reason to be cheerful is that there is the song Reasons to be cheerful by the great Ian Dury.
