What makes one truly ruly happy?



Being the diligent blogger that I am lol I had no idea what I was going to write about this week. However upon re-reading last weeks post about feeling blurgh [which I am not so much now] I thought I would write a post this week to remind me of the good things in life and what makes me happy. So today I am writing about the 10 things in life that make me truly ruly happy!!!!


1. My husband Ty and I met in 1999 and as the cliche goes it was pretty much love at first sight [well for him anyway it took me a few nights to admit it to myself lol].

We married in 2002 and welcome Ella into our life in 2002 and Mia in 2005. We have our fights and arguments, we annoy each other but at the end of the day he is my soulmate and makes me totally happy. My girls are my life. They are scrumptious and divine [and sometimes downright feral lol] but I love them with all my heart and soul and coming home at the end of the day to the two smiling girls gets me all excited.







2. My parents [and parents in law] and all the other extended family are awesome. My parents are the pure essence of my soul. They have brought me up better than anyone could imagine and have instilled wonderful values in me. They are there for me and my family no matter what and I love them with all that I am.







3. My house or should I say my home? I love it. It is a small two bedroom cottage that has more paint off it than on it but I love it. It is mine. I brought it at the ripe old age of 25 and am so proud of that fact. It was my lifelong dream. It needs more than a tonne of work and we are about to undertake renovations and extensions but I love it. I have created it. It has my touch added to it and as I drive up my driveway I am proud to say it is my home and I have never felt more secure in my life than I do when living here.










4. My pets Faith and Ollie. We rescued our dog Ollie at 5 weeks old from a local rescue group. He was dumped in a cardboard box by the side of the road. He was supposed to be a staffy x lab but is now huge. He really is a gentle giant and I love him to bits. When I pull up in my car he bounds up to me tail wagging and is so happy to see me.

My little girl faith only came to us two weeks ago. After researching ncat breeds we decided a British Blue is perfect for us and she is. We love so so much. She woke me up this morning by jumping on me purrring and rubbing me. Oh I love her so.....................



5. Where I live is awesome. I live in Northern NSW near Byron Bay. I love it and would never want to live anywhere else in the world. We rarely go on holidays [partly due to $$$] but also because seriously there is never anywhere I would want to go more than where I live.
This photo was taken a year ago about 10 mins from my house.
6. BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS!! Have I mentioned I love books ? I can read all day everyday. I could live without the TV if I could just sit and read. I read anything, fiction, non-fiction, motivational books, new age books, etc etc
7. Crystals. I have been drawn to crystals since I was a little girl but only about 12-18 months ago did I learn about them. I now have them around my home, under my pillow etc and they provide me with a sense of calm and healing. Just seeing them makes my heart sing .
8. At the start of the year fate stumbled me across a website called GoddessGuidebook.com for some reason I felt the universe led me there for a particular reason and I am so glad I found it. Leonie is so truthful and truly inspirational and I feel I am a better, more creative person since reading her blog [ www.goddessguidebook.com]
9. Gardening makes me happy and healthy. I have only recently gotten back into it but growing, planting, harvesting etc is peeerfect for my soul.
10. I looooooooove baking. I loooove eating more like it lol. But seriously I enjoy baking goodies. I am nothing like a chef and my hubby cooks most of our meals but I bake cakes, slices, cookies etc and love the end result which is usually a rustic type look as Ty likes to call it.
So dearest readers what makes you happy? I would love to hear your 10 things that make you happy?
