I think with all we've been through in the last month or so that we could use a Happy Thread, so here it is! Share something (large or small) that has made you smile recently!
Yesterday I got together for HH with a good friend. OMG I needed that so much! I was in isolation from 12/15 - 1/10 due to covid, so getting out in the world felt amazing. Most of my friends are not currently comfortable getting together in person, lots of activities have been cancelled, so this was SO needed! Especially since I live alone. Yes, I had to weigh the plusses and minuses of doing so, but I am so grateful for that face to face time!
Who's next?

I shared earlier but I'm gonna be a grandma in June... That is pretty much my Happy news for the year.

What is HH?
(I’m currently on my couch, under s blanket, starting to feel sick. I truly cannot remember the last time I’ve even had sniffles. I’m vaccinated and boosted and have escaped covid so far. I’m really hoping this is something else. Anyway, my brain feel fuzzy and it's probably something I’ll laugh over asking about when you reply!)

Finally my dogs skin infection is clearing up. It's been going on since Thanksgiving and we've made numerous vet visits trying to get it cleared up.

My grandchildren aren't back to school yet due to restrictions in Ontario. Today I got to spend the day with them because their parents were working. I hadn't seen them since before Christmas because they all had covid and were isolating over the holidays. They brightened my day!

DD is coming home at the end of the month for 10 days. I can't wait to see a few friends in person, MichyM. Congratulations, workingclassdog! Hope you feel better, J u l e e.

My mil is doing much better. The pain is mostly gone, and she is getting around so much better. Hoping to get a scan in a few weeks telling us her back has healed. I continue to thoroughly enjoy my time with her.

I was finally able to take an actual hot shower for longer than 5 minutes. Our hot water has been spotty for a long time (like, months). Showers have mostly been tepid. That's no fun in the winter. We finally got someone out. We needed a new boiler. Ugh. They're working on it now (today was the 2nd day of work) but they put in an electric water heater in the meantime.

One of my 3 Sephora ordered arrived today. My BFF piano teacher wears makeup when she goes to the grocery store. I am aiming to be like her! Today is just a good day for no apparent reason.

My happy is that after a year of thinking about it (and several years wanting something but no idea what) I’m finally booked for my tattoo!
I had wanted something cake related, and then my best cake pal said “I love my business but not enough to have it permanently on my skin” so I changed my mind.
Then when I rebranded last year the designer had an illustrator do some floral pieces for me to choose from. The one I loved she pulled bits of into my new branding. And I decided I wanted the full floral piece on my arm. So it’s my business….but it isn’t cake!

I looked at your website and new photos after you did the re-branding and it's just lovely.

Snow is forecast Saturday and my son is still young enough to be excited. And we don't have to go anywhere the next day!

My happy is a morning that began with a beautiful long walk and seeing the sunrise. I have a friend who walks from 6:45-8:45am on the beach and invites me along. I have arranged my work schedule so I can join her two days a week and it's a great way to start the day.

Two things: 1. I was just thinking about how much I love that our adult kids still like to hang out with us. We all traveled together over the holiday and had the best time! I talk or text with my daughter just about every day. I hear from the boys a couple of times a week. I'm just happy that the three of them show up for each other too. Oldest DS thought his twin sister wasn't sounding quite herself so he said, "I'm going to go stay with her for a few days and make sure she's doing okay." These two fought like cats and dogs while growing up. There's hope!
2. I love my new job. I work with amazing people, I'm still having an impact in the education world, and my stress level is 5% of what it was when I was a middle school teacher. There are aspects of teaching I miss, but not enough to go back. It's nice to be working on making change from another front.
Great thread, Michy! Thanks for starting it!

This makes me so happy, both 1 and 2, but especially 2. I am so, so, so happy for you that you’re happy…I know leaving teaching was difficult on you. ❤️

In December, both my husband and I got clean bills of health, and we both got new positions at our respective workplaces (his was expected, as he applied and interviewed for the job and they asked for references at the conclusion of his second interview; mine was not - our COO called me into his office and told me I was being promoted to a manager-level position.).

For me, my fibro flare is dying down a bit today so my overall pain has lessened, I didn’t feel like I had to go right back to sleep when I woke up this afternoon, my skin isn’t so sensitive that DH can’t touch me with his blanket, and I don’t have to stop 3 times every 2 minutes to remember a simple word! J u l e e I really hope you feel better soon, and that it’s just bad allergies or a cold! mikklynn I’m glad your DH is home and hope he is feeling like himself soon.

This is really small but it made me smile. My basement has more junk than it has ever had but today it paid off. I went down there looking for a container for some additional fabric paints that came in this week. On the floor next to my worktable was the exact same container that I have the first lot of paints in right down to the color that matches my craft room. It was exactly what I'd hoped to find and didn't even know I had another one. It was even empty.

Well I’ve got you all beat…I got a front row parking spot at Trader Joe’s the other day. It was even a pull-through spot. 😆

My Valentine's Day gift from hubs has been Girl Scout cookies for years now (long cute story). I started observing Lent three years ago and my cookies would always end up coming halfway through February so I would stash them until after Easter. Today I get a FedEx shipping notice that my cookies will be here tomorrow; he wants me to have them before Lent. Definitely put a huge smile on my face!
