10 Things That make me Happy

Hello people, It’s a great thing to feel Happy and I’ve been thinking 🤔 about what it is that makes me Happy.

So below is a List... Yep you guessed it of 10 Things that make me Happy.

Number 1:

My other Half....Who puts up with my long hours, Tiredness and has been amazing with my psoriasis. Despite suffering with depression herself she is a truly amazing individual who I love with all my heart.She also has a great creative streak and a big fan of Lego.

Number 2:

Our Dogs ...Harvey and Dexter. They are our world and our family. Nothing quite like coming in after a hard day and seeing their joy. If I’m tired it just disappears and we play hide and seek and the 123 game ( I’ll go into it later) They definitely turn my frown upside down 😊.

Number 3:

My Family.....I have quite a large family and extended family, If I’m honest we don’t see each other as much as we should. But I know they’ll always be there for me if I need them and when we get together everything just slots into place as if we’ve never been apart.

Number 4:

Creating something New.... I love creating Art in whatever format it takes. From designs to drawing ✍️. Poetry to videography. If it involves creativity then I’m in. I learn new things all the time and the sense of achievement of that new thing is a great feeling.

Number 5:

Music...I love my music. I was brought up on Elvis,Rolling Stones ,Chas and Dave from my Dads side and Motown and Michael Jackson from my mums side. While at college I transversed from Oasis, Blur Shed seven etc to American punk bands like Nofx, SNFU and bands like Belly, Scheer etc. But I also listened to Pendulum,Danny Rampling, Prodigy amongst others. My musical taste is so eclectic - Punk to Pop, Classical to country. My philosophy is if I like it then I’ll listen to it. I don’t want to be genre defined.

I’ll listen to golden oldies to New unsigned Artists and I love it.

Number 6:

Comics... This is how I first got into reading when I was a child. We use to visit my Nainy (Welsh for grandma)

Every time I’d leave I’d be given some classic comics everything from Spider-Man to Dracula and planet of the Apes. If you’re child isn’t into reading then comics are the way to go and a great way to improve the imagination.

It’s probably where my creativity started if I’m honest and my love of Artwork 🖼.

Number 7:

Travelling... I have had the travelling bug since I was in my teen years. My Dad used to travel a lot in his job and I started going with him. I have travelled most of Europe from France 🇫🇷 to Denmark 🇩🇰, Switzerland 🇨🇭 to Norway 🇳🇴.

I love seeing the different cultures and ways of life, It’s such a big world we live in and I still have so much to see.

Number 8:

Movies... I absolutely love movies as an art form and as a way of telling stories. Not every movie is going to be seen the same way by everybody one persons trash is another persons classic. I love fan edits as well where somebody re - edits a film to create a New experience and there are some great ones to be found out there ( obviously please make sure you own the original if you decide to take a look)

Number 9:

Oooh Struggling Now -

Vaping ... ( I do not suggest taking it up if you have never smoke) I used to be a 20 - 30 a day smoker 5 years ago then I took up vaping and haven’t really looked back. I realise it’s had some bad press outside the Uk 🇬🇧 but we are a bit stricter here with tighter guidelines. Will I give it up, I’m hoping to give it up by year end but at the moment it makes me happy.

Finally Number 10:

Of course it’s blogging...while I’ve had this Blog for quite a few years it’s really been an on off affair. This is the first year I’ve taken it more seriously as an outlet. I’m glad I’ve found it and the bug.

I don’t claim to be the best at it but if it helps somebody somewhere then great, if people enjoy reading my posts then it’s a bonus. If you find new music and tips that help then that’s amazing. So for all those that stop by and take the time to read my posts THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart 💓 

If you want to get in touch feel free, I’ll try to reply as soon as I can but I will reply.

💯❤️💡
