First – I wish I had a cat that was happy to be carried around in a basket – mine freaks out whenever anything basket-like approaches him – too many bad memories of going to the vet in a cage, perhaps?

More importantly – I always try to remember this. Through various life experiences, I am a firm believer that only you can make yourself happy. And life is never ‘perfect’ (thank goodness, because how boring would that be??) so I try to embrace each moment of happiness that comes my way.

Especially as I’ve been blessed with a happy life, I try not to take for granted that I have a husband who loves me, and whom I love; parents who love me and would do anything for me; a big extended family; lovely friends; a home (in a shed, but who cares? And now we have TWO rooms! More on that later); my health, and a way of making enough money that I enjoy. I try to remember and count all those blessings every day.

What blessings have come your way?
