This week my Word of the Week is:
This past week has been a really good one, it is the first week I have felt 100% happy and relaxed since the summer when I took a little break from blogging. Nothing regarding that situation we had and still have going on in our lives has changed but things have changed around it over the last couple of weeks that have made me feel happier, safer and less worried about things. I am not going to go into details but for the first time in a long time we are all truly happy!
I am happy that spring feels like it is on it's way. The windows have been open, the back door too. I've had washing out on the line, I have started sorting out the garden and I am thinking of ordering some compost and even more seeds. This year I am determined to have an amazing garden with lots growing.
I suggested a break away to my family, for later on in the year and I thought they were going to laugh at the idea but they are on board with it and are really happy about the place that I have suggested. They are suggesting things to do and places to visit, it's somewhere new and different for us but I am excited.
The girls have been so happy about various things this week, nice food, making plans for the future, winning matches together on Fortnite, Britain's Got Talent being back on the TV, buying and receiving gifts, online shopping deliveries, spending time together as a family, a meal at the pub, lie ins and days out. When my girls are happy it makes me happy too!
Everything seems so good at the moment, too good! I am worrying, waiting for something bad to happen. It's madness and I annoy myself how my brain works. Bad things happen and I worry and when good things happen I still worry too but for the time being I am just going with the flow and I am being happy!
I don't have much planned for the weekend but the weather is supposed to be nice. If the weather forecast is to be believed it is meant to be 10C here today which is a lot warmer than it has been and the sun is supposed to be out all day. I predict more washing out on the line and maybe a walk out to my dads. Tomorrow is supposed to be a little warmer and I am hoping to convince Stu to help me out in the garden. I have a list of jobs for him to do, he won't be happy but deep down he knows that the jobs need to be done. We can do them tomorrow or put them off and then I will be complaining. He knows keeping me happy makes him happy. hehehe
How has your week been? I hope you have had a good one! I am of course linking up with Anne who blogs at Raisie Bay for her Word of the Week linky!
How wonderful to feel so contented/happy right now! I hope that continues for you. I do know the feeling of worry that something not so great is bound to happen based on how good things are going right now. Maybe being prepared for the possibility is one way to soften any potential blow? I hope you have a great weekend with your loved ones :).
ReplyDeleteTaking a break and a vacation and really change your perspective.
ReplyDeleteAh yes indeed! The weather is warm here today too! I have some of the windows open. It is a touch of spring and I am ready for it!

How beautiful. I like it when we are happy. Count your blessings and dont worry too much about down days. Things will happen but as one of my favourite song says, don't worry, be happy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and uplifting post! 🌸 It’s so refreshing to hear that you’re feeling truly happy and embracing the positive moments in life. I can totally relate to that mix of excitement and cautiousness when everything seems to be going well—it’s like waiting for the other shoe to drop! Your plans for gardening and a family getaway sound amazing, and I’m sure they will bring even more joy. Wishing you many more weeks filled with happiness and sunshine! 😊💛
ReplyDeleteI love this Kim! I'm so glad that you have had lots to be happy about this week. I think the blue skies always help to lift the mood especially after such a grey winter. I can get caught in that sort of thinking when life seems to be going to well so I try really hard to take each day as it comes and just feel grateful for the good times. I hope you have a lovely weekend whatever you decide to do.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely week. All the blue sky this week has helped me. I'm glad that last year's problems seem further away and you feel happier. Going out in the garden and ploughing through your to do list sounds like a good way to keep feeling happy. Hope Stu feels the same way by the end of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove your Word of the Week! And so glad that you can be happy and breathe again. Sending big hugs and lots of love your way! xx
ReplyDeleteI love your word for the week! Sometimes its hard but when we reflect we can usually find moments that bring us joy and each is such a gift! Thanks for the reminder, Kim!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are feeling happy. It sounds like that nasty problem you had has been resolved, I do hope so. How nice to have a break away to look forward to as well. I thought my kids would scoff when I suggested a holiday this year but they didn't and now they are getting really excited for it. I am too. the last time I was in a panic but now I know what to expect and I know we can manage. I'm sure we are all going to have a wonderful time xx
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so happy that you're feeling happy! I am like you and when things are going well, I sometimes catch myself worrying that it won’t last or that something bad is just around the corner. Haha, it’s funny (and annoying) how our brains do that, isn’t it? But for now, I hope you can enjoy the good things. You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteHappy is such a lovely word for the week. So glad that you are feeling so much happier again. It is so lovely to feel like spring is on the way and to be planning a break for later in the year. Hope that things continue to go well for you all x #WotW
