Today - happy or sad?

I'm happy! I don't know how to be unhappy. I have moments of sadness, but they soon pass. The reason that I'm happy today is that tomorrow, the bed that is cluttering up my hall is being collected by a charity that helps disadvantaged people furnish their homes. I will be able to walk round without tripping over it!!

Today is a good day, I cracked my denture holding 1 front tooth, it's in the menders, so I've been productive, washing, ironing and sorting baby clothes

Relaxed had a manicure, lip and chin wax booked next manicure and pedicure as the two are on special offer until 1 December. Picking GS up from school smile.
Just opened the post and there is a card from my lovely Sister in Law with a big fat 70 on it hmm. Birthday not till Wednesday and I have an appointment with the physiotherapist on that day, did not want to change the appointment sad however intend to have a large wine when finished. So thinking a good day as I am still here and life is still worth living.

Definitely down. Went to see fireworks last night, and the explosions sounded like gunfire. I kept thinking of Syria and Aleppo. And Trump's followers and the UKIP lot who all seem to hate having some different people anywhere near them.
What's the use of sporting a red poppy when both soldiers and civilians have constantly been killed in wars all my life angry

Happy - Conifers belonging to my neighbour are, at long last, being cut down to half their size - let there be light!

We've got a plumber coming any time soon so although I've spent the morning cleaning/washing/ironing, there will no doubt be more mess to clean up when he's gone.

Other than that, everything's tickety-boo. grin

Pretty indifferent. The sun is shining which is uplifting but otherwise just another day.

Sorry that happiness eludes you at the moment gilly - life can be a bitch sometimes and you have to hunt pretty hard for things to be happy about. flowers

I find it really hard to be happy as there always seems to be something looming on the horizon of doom. In fact I can't remember the last time I actually felt really happy. I am fed up saying to myself that I would be happy if only....... as this is pointless. I envy those who are able to look on the bright side of things and those who are able to put worries out of their mind (even temporarily). I know I have so much to be grateful for and I am grateful for those things but as for being happy, I'm not.

There is a song by Kacey Musgrove called "you're only happy when you're miserable" and I think it was written for me!

Sorry if I am spoiling an otherwise happy thread. Just saying.

Have a happy day, annsixty! I had my lovely family birthday lunch yesterday, but today I am happy because we can now get back to normal.

Luckygirl Mon 07-Nov-16 13:20:03

Happy - my lovely 3 year old DGD is here for the day and we were discussing how her Mum was once my little girl. I said she grew up to be a Mummy. "Yes" says DGD "She grew up to be my Mummy and you gave her to me." How cute is that?

kittylester Mon 07-Nov-16 13:16:32

I'm frustrated! Just had a cup of tea with one of my brothers who has a few financial problems and is resisting my (and our other brother's) advice! Which is obviously rhe way to go! grin

Off to do my stint in the library in a minute though so that will cheer me up!

Congrats to your DGD Ann.

Have a lovely lunch with the family annsixty

Anxious at the minute waiting for a hospital meeting for a friend. Other than that a good day. Sun is shining and I am definitely less grumpy than yesterday which was a very blue day. Congratulations to your GD ann. That will be a special lunch. ☀️

A really good day for me.My GD is 18 and is so happy after a difficult few years. We are going out for a family lunch.

Today I am happy. Sun shining, Elvis on radio, drinking coffee and eating a piece of date and walnut loaf and a good book . Yesterday not so good. How is everyone? Hope it a good day for you all
