Whyever not?

(The only way to actually guarantee more happiness in the world today is for me to be happy.)

It's a choice i make.

When I first open my eyes in the morning I have arranged that I see something beautiful which makes me feel good. Flowers, always. A card from a friend, a photograph, a piece of paper with something written on it - for a while I had 'This is the day I have been given, let me rejoice and be glad in it'. The little baby food jar painted with spots is one of a collection given to me one Christmas filled with sweets by Laura who couldn't afford to buy presents that year - I have always treasured it.

What will you see when you first open your eyes tomorrow? If you have lots of clutter on your bedside table get one with a drawer in it, or put a basket underneath it and tonight put something there which will make you feel happy!

It's the simple things.

How right you are - I always think in a similar way that the entrance hall into my house should be a nice place to welcome me home and I have a plaque on the wall given to me by a freind about special friendships and a framed sampler stitched by two girls when they were quite little.

Hi Viv - Hijacking Freda's blog for a moment to say that I, like Freda, have not been able to find a way to comment on your new blog.

Thanks for the message. I seem to have chosen a not very comment friendly theme and will look into changing. I have explored and I think you have to click into the title of the post and this takes you to the same post with a comment box on the bottom!
perhaps you would try it and let me know. x

An important place for something meaningful Viv.

Lovely idea. The first thing I see most mornings is my dog offering up alarm service at 5:30 am--his face in my face. Haven't been able to find his reset button. :)

A friendly face must be nice to wake up to - even if a bit early!

Get rid of the clutter for sure! And i also got rid of the clock...i like to lie there for awhile and guess what time it is...this is the privilege of being old! I do not have to get up and go to work..so it does not matter to me what time it is. And what a luxury to not have to rush...worth getting old for!

I do turn the luminous face of the clock away from me when I'm getting to sleep but I still have very old fashioned views about not 'sleeping in' !
