Starting the week by writing the Happy List is something I’ve been doing for the last few years. It’s my chance to sit down and reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well as to record some of the adventures we have as a family.
Five Happy Things {Week 518}
Last week I finished reading The Mystery Guest by Nita Prose which is a Molly the Maid story. I loved the first book and this is also a great page turner. Taking place a little while after the first book, Molly has been promoted to Head Maid at the Regency Grand Hotel. When a guest is murdered Molly knows she holds the key to the mystery. I enjoyed reading this book, although not as much as the first book. I’m delighted to see there is a third book in the works, as well as a Christmas novel.
I binge watched Into the Fire: The Lost Daughter and The Perfect Couple on Netflix. Both couldn’t be more different but were entertaining in different ways.
My sister came to visit for a few days and we took my pup, as well as her two dogs, to an enclosed dog field. My dog is never off lead as his recall is not good, so he was able to have a run off lead which he really enjoyed.
Both the kids went camping with Scouts for the last time this year. The weather was gorgeous one day and wet the next. They brought home very wet rucksacks, which meant a day of washing for me.
I decided to go for a singing trial with a local choir. It’s been a few years since I stopped singing and I really miss it. I found a local choir which sings the kind of choral music I enjoy.
What’s made you happy this week?
Don’t you just love happy things that happen in your life! And that fur baby is just adorable.
Happy things are the best!!! My happy thing this week is starting a small landscape project I’ve been postponing for months….I love it.
There’s really so much to be glad about if we stop to remember our blessings. I love this.
We found out our son will have an extra few days to visit when he comes home from college, so that has made my husband and I VERY happy!
My son is coming home for a FULL MONTH from Italy on leave from the Army. It’s been about 2 years since we’ve seen him, so I am extremely happy.
You should keep up the singing, it’s such a wonderful thing to be able to do.
Sounds like a lovely week. Nice that your dog got a good run, these enclosed fields for dogs are great, especially if you have a nervous dog or a puppy.
I loved “The Perfect Couple”! I am really happy to see that you are getting back to singing and found a good place to do that. Wishing you success in that!
Sounds like a fun and eventful week! I love a good page-turner and choir singing!
It’s lovely that you are trying to get back into singing – I hope it goes well! I am in Spain this week, which I am very happy about.
The perfect couple is one web series that I need to watch this weekend. Singing in a choir is such a calming experience.
I love how you reflect on the little joys from the past week—it’s such a great way to stay positive.
Thats awesome that you are pursuing singing again! I have abandoned a lot of things that I miss, and would love to do music (cello) again.
