Apart from seeing two pink lines on a pregnancy test, what makes you happy?
I was thinking about this today whilst eating my freshly baked scone dripping in butter - even when the going gets tough there is always something that puts a smile on your face. What does it for you? Friday nights at home with my husband, watching trashy TV with a glass of red wine makes me happy! |

Great thread BG! I have lots too!! Despite TTC stuff my life makes me pretty happy I have a lovely husband, a great home & a pretty blessed life. Aside from those, a good glass of sav after a long day, a really super good cup of strong coffee! Cooking a fantastic meal, spending time with friends & family, handbags & shoes, chocolate, sun, being on holiday, lazy weekends, gardening!
It's great to focus on this stuff often rather than what isn't happening!

I have lots of things too
DH, Family, and good friends. My crazy Dog. Cooking, eating good fresh food from my garden and a nice glass of wine. Achieving goals big and small, getting outside and completing a project in the garden. The sunshine. Smelling coffee beans Mmmmm so so good at fixing the cravings I get (random I know LOL but it makes me happy that Im not giving in to drinking it). Holidays and sleeping in. Shopping (when I have money) and at the moment my litte flax seeds I planted thAT I thought were not going to do anything but are now (after weeks and weeks) starting to sprout! Awww my little flax babies LOL  ------------- TTC for 4 1/2 years IVF #1 - April 2012 short BFP, no frosties IVF #2 - August 2012, BFP!! 3 frosties! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

DH (sometimes hehe), my black babies (dog and cat), having a good camera to snap happy times, coffee, sleep ins, cheese, looking back at all our travel photos, shopping oh how shopping makes me happy - we purchased a plasma TV on the weekend what a great feeling that was! Plans working out is a biggie - we have been very lucky this year our wedding was amazing thanks to all my planning hehe. Now all we need to top off this super year so far is a wee bubba on board. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Shopping for sure, but on a more "awww" level, watching my DF and stepsons potter around the place with the puppy following along looking at them adoringly. It's just too sweet for words.
Chocolate also does a great job of making me happy! I am also with Curlysue about the shoes shoes & shoes, sleep ins and rain on the roof. Wow looking at that, I don't seem high maintenance at all! hehehe

What a lovely thread BG - I have big warm fuzzies after reading what makes you girls happy!
Silly private jokes with Dh that make us giggle everytime, visiting family and friends overseas, shopping and getting a bargain, a glass of wine, relaxing holidays, Disneyland(!), walking up the beach at sunset, snuggling in bed with a good book, my little vege garden, coffee with a good friend, cute dresses, dancing like no one is watching, spending time with kids I've looked after and re-living the magic of my own childhood, cuddles, writing in my diary and last but not least....

I get a really amazing sense of purpose from watching it grow and tending to it! ------------- http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/279456">

| Aww I've got another one- overhearing my youngest stepson tell his father he loves him, and needs to tell him that because he loves me 'too much'. Can't say that didn't bring a bit of a Nawwww tear to my eye! |

That's so adorable. Aw what a lovely list of things that make you all happy, lots of similarities that I can relate to... A glass of sav anytime, or nice merlot in winter, my DP and the silliness, laughing, and joking we do, my animals, shoes, my house, thinking about how lucky I am, a good book, my friends, my family especially my nephew, photographs, memories, listening to or watching music/concerts, sleeping in, snuggling in bed under a thick duvet... ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">
