Happiness is ......

.... finding one of Jeff White's sizable invoice for a commissioned coloured stone that I thought I have yet to pay had been fully paid for!

Please share your happiness.

Happiness is....good skincare and bubble bath! #self-care

Always having this goofball around to play with

Happiness is my dog sitting in my lap (as best he can), snuggled up and snoozing. He’s a little too big to be a lap dog but he tries!

When you have just made a fresh cup of coffee and you sit down in your favorite chair with a cozy blanket.

The mail truck delivering mail. New pearls came in the mail today. It's the little things. Oh, and wine helps too.

Having a converstion on the phone with my granddaughters and just before hanging up the little one (5years old) yells out, I love you with all my heart Nonna!!

That fills my heart with joy!

 

[Lisa Loves Shiny]

Every time I come home from work, here the pitter patter of paws rushing to great me with tails wagging and my DH saying "Hi honey" as I walk through the door. It never gets old.

A day off from work!

@Cluless Precious! I‘m Nonna too!

Happiness is just being beside my DH doing anything (or nothing) at all.

Happiness is knowing my loved ones are safe and well.

Happiness is hugging my friends, my family, my DH, my kitties.

 

[Slickk]

Happiness is health and love for yourself and family.

 

[MamaBee]

Carrot cake!

@Cluless Precious! I‘m Nonna too!

Hey Nonna! Yes Precoius indeed, espescially since this one wanted nothing to do with me for the first year of her life lol everytime I would get close to her or even just attempt to talk to her she would cry and cry lol

 

[diamondringlover]

That’s so funny! That happened to my friend. Her grandchildren would run and hide when she came over..She would cry. ...I felt so bad for her. Now they think she’s the best...

At this time of year it’s Christmas Lights.
I so love Christmas lights.
I hate dragging kilo after kilo of them out of the attic, I hate untangling them from last year and I hate putting them out. In Sydney, being Summer, it is invariably 40C on the day. They take hours to put out.
then...... every nice night for the next 2 weeks I grab a drink and sit on the kerb across the road (weird I know) and admire them.

The way the air smells early on a summer morning.

A clean house, no one home on a day off with the kettle on and some great books from the library.

Finding a rare houseplant at my local garden centre, but they don't know it's rare and haven't priced it accordingly. Then I grow that little critter into an amazing specimen, where it blooms and even my lads notice and say "yo ma, what kind of plant is this??".

Making a tasty meal and my lads (including DH) are tucking in, and saying "Thanks Mom!".

First day off and all my favorite jeans are clean.

A decent amount of sleep so I'm not on the edge of sanity for that day.

Someone thinks I'm 46 when I'm really 54.

A really good cup of coffee.

Life is all about the little things for me...

@clueless I’m having a hard time keeping my Nonna points because it’s hard when you can’t give them a regular hug. My oldest grandson will turn four in March. This last year I feel it’s hard for him to stay attached when we only have time on FaceTime. I went there today and played dinosaurs with him outside wearing masks..but it’s a risk. His younger brother doesn’t really know me because he’s seven months old...born during covid. I only held him for the first time last month...My son and family were exposed to a friend with covid outside. The friend wasn’t wearing a mask. They took my grandson out of daycare because they all had to isolate for two weeks. They were negative...At the end of their quarantine they stayed home so on the fifteenth day so I could come and visit in their house. It was wonderful...I hugged and kissed everyone...The baby threw up all over me..haha..and I was happy even with spit up on me..I stayed for three hours...The next day my grandson went back to school and we went back to knot being able to be next to each other...Happiness was that day we got to be together.

 

[Cluless]

ahhh, Nonna I know just how you feel regarding the no hugging or kissing, see I am the huggy feely type, also very maternal so I do have a very hard time lol I've been kniown to follow those poor children around aking for a hug and a kiss lol. ( I would be @kipari's worst nightgmare lol). I can't remember last time I either hugged or kissed either of them. Last time I saw them in person was in the lobby of their complex at a distance on christmas day we dropped off their gifts,saidMerry Christmas send them air kisses and left as I turned around to leave the little one shouted Happy Birtday Nonna!! lol she remembered it was my birhthday the week before but was crabby when they drove by to wish me a happy birthday so she had burried her face iin the car seat and did not look or speak to me lol

I am glad that your son and his family all tested negative for covid. I am sorry it took so long for you to hold your precious newborn grandchild.

And yay for getting to play dinosaurs with your other grandchild today!!

The baby threw up all over me..haha..and I was happy even with spit up on me..I hear ya on that what's a little spit up when you can cuddle and cherish them.

It is a risk my wife and I are willing to take 5X a week since grandma is their caregiver. Both of us are still alive today.

Working from home for most of the last year getting to spend precious additional time with my DH and two cats. And an amazing glass of wine, of course, never hurts!
