Just wanted to show you how lovely my husband is. As i was teaching my class he came in and put this on my desk. The note reads:

 

Because you are so special, so lovely, so kind, so beautiful, so sexy and so addicted to coffee. I have made you this little special treat.

All my love for you! xxxooo

Day 7 of happiness...

What would i do without the Internet. It makes me so happy when i log into my email account each morning and see in my inbox an email from my friends or family. Sometimes i even wait to read them when i can really sit down and enjoy every word. I guess there are negatives to the Internet too like i don't use the phone enough, but imagine my phone bill if i did! and i do love the good old mail. There is nothing like a hand written letter.

Thank you for the emails friends! xxx

Day 6 of happiness...

My darling husband is coming home from his camping trip today! i cant wait to see him again. It has only been 4 days, but things are just not the same without him. They say that distance makes the hard grow fonder. well.... i don't think i'm fonder, but i relies now how much i enjoy having him around!

He's also very good at making me smile! 

day 5 of happiness...

So today hasn't been the best of days, nothing seemed to be going right! but.... i'm looking at the bright side of life and so i just smiled through it all. Its amazing how different you feel even when things are not going so well, if you just smile it doesn't seem so bad. 

Here are some reasons to smile more often: 

1. Smiling Makes Us Attractive. We are drawn to people who smile. There is an attraction factor. We want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away -- but a smile draws them in.

2. Smiling Changes Our Mood. Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good chance you mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you change your mood.

3. Smiling Is Contagious. When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with them. Smile lots and you will draw people to you.

4. Smiling Relieves Stress. Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. The stress should be reduced and you'll be better able to take action.

5. Smiling Boosts Your Immune System. Smiling helps the immune system to work better. When you smile, immune function improves possibly because you are more relaxed. Prevent the flu and colds by smiling.

6. Smiling Lowers Your Blood Pressure. When you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. Give it a try if you have a blood pressure monitor at home. Sit for a few minutes, take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. Do you notice a difference?

7. Smiling Releases Endorphins, Natural Pain Killers and Serotonin. Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural pain killers, and serotonin. Together these three make us feel good. Smiling is a natural drug.

8. Smiling Lifts the Face and Makes You Look Younger. The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don't go for a face lift, just try smiling your way through the day -- you'll look younger and feel better.

9. Smiling Makes You Seem Successful. Smiling people appear more confident, are more likely to be promoted, and more likely to be approached. Put on a smile at meetings and appointments and people will react to you differently.

10. Smiling Helps You Stay Positive. Try this test: Smile. Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It's hard. When we smile our body is sending the rest of us a message that "Life is Good!" Stay away from depression, stress and worry by smiling.

So just smile! 

Day 4 of happiness...

I love Sundays, its my favourate day of the week. Ben and i usually spend sunday mornings in bed watching a movie and drinking great coffee but this week was different. I spend Sunday morning in bed, drinking good coffee (made by me, so not as good as Ben's) and reading a book that i started months ago and never had time to finish. Im reading 'playing the field' by Zoe Foster. Its a fun, light read, great for Sunday mornings.

What a great way to start the day!
