2016 - A year of happiness

Happy New Year 2016

I had an ok 2015.  It wasn't the best but against the previous three years, which were horrific for me, it was better.  For some of my friends, 2015 was horrific.  So here's to new beginnings.

I believe that this year will be a year of happiness for my family.  Of course no one can ever be 100% happy 100% of the time, but we can always strive to see the best in things - that is my aim.

I didn't make any NY resolutions.  But I have some goals that I would like to achieve.  Some are BIG and some are small, but they are all important.

I think it is a good idea to have some goals for the year.  I like to feel I am achieving something and having a goal makes me work a bit harder (and smarter) to reach it.  

I will post my goal list soon.

Someone I know commented to me the other day that I am always so happy and always have something happy to say when they chat to me.  They said it was really great that I had such a positive attitude considering all the difficulties I have.

How lovely is that!  It made my day.

While it's true that we have some difficulties and they are fairly major, I still think I have a great life.

And I really, really do :-)

Sure, some days are BAD - really, really challenging and I wonder what an earth I have done to deserve everything.  They are few and far between though and let's be honest, everyone has those days at some point now and again.

I know some people who look like they have great lives and actually they really don't.  It's all an image that they uphold.  Their real life is not happy, not loving and not fulfilling - sadly not at all.  

But they have lots of money, a fancy car and house and have a "great" job -  often as a Manager!!

Good luck to them!

BUT.........

My grass is looking very green at the moment which is pretty darn excellent.

Happy 2016!
