Today I am so happy!

Today as I stood outside  in the sun with my nespresso coffee getting creative for my #fmsphotoaday challenge i smiled and thought "life is great right this moment".   A few personal challenges this year have indeed made me stronger and appreciate the smaller things in life but also have made me realise how much happiness comes from within. I might not be ready to talk about the challenges just yet online but i have really learnt who my close friends are and am never amazed at the support available and am so very grateful.   Today's #fmsphotoaday theme was macro. I thought I wonder how macro my Samsung camera could go? I was amazed at the zoom to capture rain drops left sitting on my vine outside. I love that you can see the reflection of the sky. Made my morning. What a great picture of nature to show that beauty is all around.

Week Six of Fat Mum Slim's photo a day challenge complete.  I am so excited to do a FULL year of the #fmsphotoaday challenge.  Here is a little description of my piccies for this week. Monday 2nd - Mail Got the "you have a parcel" slip in our tiny postbox which meant my books had arrived from Mum.  Yes we send each other books in the post to read, kind of like a postman pat library.  I was excited as i was finally going to read James Bowen's "A streetcat named Bob".  The amazing true story of how James survived being on the streets of London after he met a ginger cat who he named Bob.  To give you an idea of how good the books are, I have read both already as of yesterday (8th Feb).  Easy reading and you will just love Bob.   Tuesday 3rd - Water It was raining today but decided to use my photo archives to put up a water picture that made me smile and feel warmer.  The water picture for this prompt was taken in Thailand on our Honeymoon in M

Monday 26th Three Things Australia Day - Sydney Harbour Bridge, Australian flag and friends Just the perfect three things needed to celebrate Australia Day on Monday 26th.  A lovely afternoon having lunch at the Lord Nelson pub and then a wander through the Rocks to check out bands and stands of food galore and Australia Day happiness. Tuesday 27th - Morning A quiet Tuesday morning I had an appt down Chinatown end of town and it was eerily quiet and empty and I remember thinking "I have never seen Chinatown so empty", it was great to get a snap of the entire strip with no-one around, ahh bliss! Normally it is SUPER packed. Wednesday 28th - Strange Snapped this on Tuesday with Wednesday's prompt in mind.  An interesting shop in Chinatown hosting clothes and other shop like things in what looks like snow.  Suited the day as it was cold and wet.  I remember the first time I saw snow, I was in Belfast in 2000 and it was such a happy day.

I forgot to blog about my Week Four challenge with #fmsphotoaday!  It was a bit of a mad week last week.   Four day week and all that. Monday 19th Homemade A picture of delicious red velvet cupcakes I made as a Christmas present for my friend Justin.  I know he loves all things sweet, cupcakes and loves sprinkles so it was such a happy present to make as I knew he would LOVE them. Tuesday 20th Window There is something about cathedral windows that I love, I believe they mirror some gorgeous energy about the church and always find myself looking admiringly at them and this makes me feel happy and connected to higher energy. Wednesday 21st In a row Pillars on a gorgeous Heritage listed building make me realise I live in an amazing city in a fabulous country whilst still so young have some gorgeous architecture. Thursday 22nd Collection I have fond memories of wood from my Pop growing up. He always was so crafty with his hands and could make anything with wood
