happy monday

November 14, 2011 by Ella

a.m.

Well hello my sweet friends! Hope you’re having a good start to your week. Me, not so much. We have a morning surgery scheduled for Miss Gabriella – nothing serious just dental work – but still, she needs anesthesia and that makes my stomach turn to knots thinking about all that.

I will try to come back this afternoon and give you an update to my ‘Happy Monday’ – I do hope I will be happier then ;)

For now, you guys enjoy your day ;) I hope that yours and mine will be filled with lots of sunshine, smiles, hugs and laughter – and good health.

p.m.

Well hello again! I’m reporting back that everything went great and although it was a rough day – we are all happy. Ok, maybe not ‘happy’ per-se but grateful that this is all done and over with! Aside from the surgery trauma that we experienced I realized how lucky we really were that the only time we needed to visit the hospital with our daughter was for a dental treatment.

So it is a Happy day after all ;)

This is what is making me happy today!

– a beautiful sweet child in my arms all day
– a realization how much I’m needed in this world today
– good health for my whole family (my daughter’s recovery included and notice I’m referring to my MG as ‘good health’ ;)
– a great health care system (thank you Canada for being so wonderful – there’s so many programs in place with financial help – saved us almost 3 grand!)
– a safe and caring community with wonderful people all around us
– well-wishes from my friends today (yours included ;)

So, what is making you happy right now?

Please share in the comments below ;) Hope you’re having a happiness-filled day! xo

    I hope your Monday is going well and that Gabriella is feeling good!

    It’s a quiet Monday afternoon here. We got our first snow this weekend, so we’re having a cozy afternoon at home. I love days like that!

    Hugs,
    Steph

      Thanks Stephanie.
      Snow! That would cheer her up ;)
      (although I’m still not ready for that ;))

    Right now, in this moment, I am happy we have heat as it’s getting colder out. I’m happy to have had such a fabulous day with my boys today AND I that I got to go to a yoga class with my husband tonight (which we haven’t done that together in a LONG time). I’m happy to have a quiet home where all my favorite people are here nestled in. I’m happy to have my hot tea by my side and a good book I’m getting ready to jump into. And I happy for wonderful blogs like yours! xo
