52 weeks of happiness

Some of the blogs that I read like little tin bird and bunny mummy are posting something called 52 weeks of happiness.  At the end of each week they are finding four pictures of things that made them happy during the week and telling us about them.  I think it's a great idea since it goes along with my idea of being kind to myself and finding the little moments to enjoy.  So here goes my first four:



My sweet kitty Zelda looking at me with her adorable kitten face!


My good ole Charlie dog hanging out on the coach with one of my boys.  He's such a good and faithful dog.


The sight of my christmas tree still makes me happy when it's all lit up at night.  I suppose I should take it down........but maybe I'll keep it up just one more day!

The first big snowfall of the year.  I'm not really a fan of snow but I have to admit it is beautiful!

I really like the idea of 52 weeks of happiness I think you should give it a try.  Also check out the other blogs that are doing it.  There's some really beautiful pictures.  Enjoy!

AWWWWWW!!!!!


My day started with this adorable sight ...........





This is my sweet kitty Zelda all snuggled in her new bed that she got from Santa.  She spends about 95% of her day in it.  Oh to be a cat!  Usually I would see a scene like this and go oh cute and hurry about my morning.  But today I took time to really appreciate the moment it made me happy!  Try and find little moments in your day to go awwwwwwww!

Being kind to myself

Today I am taking care of myself by going to bed when I feel tired even if it is only 9:30.  How were you kind to yourself today?

NEW YEAR

A new year is usually when people make resolutions.  Things they are going to do to better their life.  Perhaps to be more healthy or find a new job.  I have made these type of resolutions in the past and have usually broken them in a few weeks or even days.  This year I'm only going to make one resolution, to be more kind to myself.  I usually say I want to find a better job instead of saying I'm proud of myself for keeping the same job for ten years that has supported myself and my three children all on my own.
I'm also going to allow myself time to escape into my craft world without feeling guilty that I should be using that time to accomplish housework,(those dirty dishes can wait.)
I think alot of people especially women could benefit from a resolution like this.
I can't believe I have now lived a whole year without my mom.  I somehow made it through without her to talk to when I was dealing with illnesses, work problems, and children issues.  I can't begin to tell you how many times I went to the phone to talk to her about a problem or a joy before it hit me that I will never be able to do that again.  A whole year I can't believe it.  I miss her every day.  Sometimes so much my heart aches.  I have had a rough few years so that's why I decided on this resolution.  I really feel a need for some tender loving care.  I feel if I take better care of myself the rest will fall into place.  I need to find some peace and joy in the new year.  I plan to blog each day to keep myself on track.
I wish everyone a happy and blessed new year.
