'100 Happy Days' Challenge: Days 36 - 42

This week has thrown me a few curve balls, but it's also shown me that amongst some negatives there are so many positives. 

Life can't always go according to plan - although it would be great if it did! It's how you handle the negatives or tough times that determines how happy and positive your life is. 

So remember, smile through the tough times, accept the things you can't change and change the things you can! 


Day 36 - 'Found the perfect shoes to go with my dress for a wedding in Yallingup this weekend! They were in the first shop we went into and they were on sale. That's my kind of shopping.'
For those that know me know that I'm not much of a shopper. I like to get in and out as quickly as possible.
Day 37 - 'I love Wednesdays. They always feel like I'm just about at the end of the week. My night for kitchen duty at work is done and dusted and there's only one more day of work until 3 days of freedom.'
I love our roster at work, it fits perfectly into our current lifestyle.
Day 38 - 'Scotty sent me a text this afternoon telling me what I needed to do tomorrow morning: 1. Go for my training run; and 2. Go and treat myself to a new outfit for Valentines Day and then meet him back at home to leave to go down south at lunchtime. Just when I thought I couldn't love him any more!'
I feel very lucky to be spending my life with someone that is always doing things to make me smile.
Day 39 - 'After an eventful afternoon we made it to the restaurant with 15 minutes to spare before they stopped taking orders for dinner. We had an amazing meal and a very naughty chocolate brownie for dessert.'
There are always things to be grateful for, even when things don't go according to plan.
Day 40 - 'We've just arrived home from an amazing afternoon/night celebrating the marriage of two beautiful people. I can't wait to see what grows in our funky wee pots that we were given.'
Such a cool idea for wedding favours!
Day 41 - 'Today is the first day I thought I'd struggle to find something that's made me happy. I've been up all night feeling very sick and it hasn't really improved all day. I never get sick so it's been horrible. On the plus side, it's given me a lot of time to think about the future which has been really exciting.'
Living such a busy life means never having much time to stop and think (normally we only get the chance when we're taking a road trip or on a plane somewhere) so although I was sick, it was nice to have some time out to make some exciting plans for the future.
Day 42 - 'After spending the afternoon inside at work it was such a nice surprise to step outside tonight and see this beautiful sunset. This photo really doesn't do it justice.'
I love being outside and try to spend as much time as possible enjoying the outdoors.
