Can you believe it! Michelle's Reasons to be Cheerful has reached its first anniversary. Over the last year she has reminded us to find the good in our everyday lives, smile at the little things and be aware of how blessed we really are.
So, here we are in 2012 and ready to see the positives every week in this brand new year. Things haven't started brilliantly for us so far. I've had a fall,the wind has destroyed our fences and we've all got re-runs of our coughs and colds.
However, there are always things to be cheerful about!
1: We had a wonderful Christmas this year at Ribby Hall Holiday village. All my children were together along with Joe's girlfriend and my parents for a magical experience. We saw Santa, we had an amazing Christmas dinner, we went swimming, me and Ian had a Spa Day and we shared lots of love and laughter. Ian also gave me the engagement ring and proposal I have waited 15 years for! (OK so we are already married...but it's never too late!) I'm still on a high!
2: I fell over, as I mentioned above, and although my hand swelled up and bruised, I didn't break it. Thinking about the prospect of having a cast filled me with dread so I am breathing a huge sigh of relief! A reason to be cheerful indeed.
3: I am enjoying having my daughter Megan home for an extra week before she returns to university. It's lovely having her company. The little girls are back at school so having my big girl home has softened the blow. I just wish we weren't both riddled with germs.
