'Happy Moments' Feb 7th - YouLookFab Forum

Hi folks, it seems like I'm settling into a fortnightly posting with this thread. Hope that's ok with you all

So as you know, the idea is to share some of the good and positive things that have been happening in your lives lately and that you feel grateful for. Also tell us if you have anything you might be looking forward to etc. Hopefully we will get our positive thinking muscles good and strong.

Some things that I feel grateful for lately are better energy levels...sleeping really well...dry weather for my walks....all of the items arriving for our bathroom refurb project, so that I can now safely go ahead and book the plumber...

A lovely moment on one of my walks, which always takes in a stream and a small lake, was seeing a Kingfisher flash past. The gorgeous blue/ green feathers shone in the sunlight. They're quite elusive birds so I felt quite thrilled to have seen one.

Happy times were the order of the day yesterday as DH and I had a proper date night. Our first in ages Our son stayed with my mum and dad and we went to a lovely Indian restaurant in town and then on to a wine/cocktail bar afterwards. We're off out again next week for Valentines too. I may need a date night capsule

Over to you now, don't forget photos and links if you want.

Hi Di ,saw your lovely date night post those colours look great on you.one of my favourites of yours.
I too am doing a remodeling of my kitchen ,have ordered all appliances online and they have arrived so i am
Just waiting for the final quote from the kitchen fitter. I love doing projects in the house.
My daughter is having driving lessons and they are going well, she also started college in september and seems so grown up now (eek).
Also thought i'd post a picture of a sunrise at our farm last week a view like this takes the edge off going out so early every morning!

Hey CC, good to hear from you. Ooh, a kitchen re-model is a big thing to go through eh? We have that pleasure to come still, but I'm guessing a couple of years or more yet. Like you I enjoy house projects though. I'm glad to hear that your DD is doing well. Good luck to her with the driving lessons. Thanks for sharing the photo too, so gorgeous!

How gorgeous, Clara. We are coming over to visit!

Diane, I LOVE how grateful you are for all the things we can easily take for granted. Do share the bathroom remodel with us. And it's fab that your head and body are in a great place.

And while we are on that subject, I've been going to yoga 4 to 5 times a week lately, and it has REALLY helped my arms and wrists feel better. I feel strong and powerful. My intention for the year is PATIENCE, and yoga is really teaching me that. I am definitely more patient this year.

Also it's Chinese New Year today. We will celebrate by going out tomorrow. I LOVE CNY!

Thanks for chiming in Angie. Yes, I took before bathroom photos a few days ago. I don't think the plumber will be starting for a couple of weeks, but I'll be sure to snap the finished project. I'm so glad to hear that your wrists and arms are improving. As for patience...I've always had plenty myself...many trying sewing jobs over the years have trained me that way! Lol!

YES! Sewing will teach you patience! Good luck with the remodel.

I don't think I'm patient enough to do sewing!! I did more before I went back to work, but even then I was disappointed with what I could produce.

We are in the middle of a record breaking heatwave (5 days in a row over 39 C) and we are FINE because we had our evaporative a/c fixed thanks so a generous relative. Makes it so much more livable, and I haven't had to dunk myself under the shower multiple times a day. Very grateful.

DH and I are doing marriage preparation with a newly engaged couple at church. Thinking though issues with them makes me realise how wonderful my own marriage is and I'm grateful also, for those who put time in to helping us improve our relationship skills.

Wow, that is hot Anne! I can imagine the relief of the a/c. A loving and fulfilling relationship is definitely something to be grateful for too
