Not The Trivial things that make you happy

The young cattle were freed from the sheds into the fields around the house today. To see the sheer happiness of them racing to and fro, kicking and jumping in total delight would put a smile on anybody's face.

Love this! This was my dads fav time of year. Letting the calves out on grass for the very first time. They'd be so happy they could run straight through the fence.

I'm wrecked, but in that good way from having been working outdoors all day. So much I want to do, but it's wonderful to have the weather, and the health to enjoy it.

Food alfresco. Drink alfresco. Company alfresco.

A glass of champagne before dinner, because tomorrow is Mother's Day

You know, despite comings and goings here today because of Mother's Day tomorrow (when the Mother of the family will be away), it's only when I read this that I suddenly thought of my own late Mother. Thank you, you brought a smile to my face from so many happy memories.

I did so much grass cutting today and had a great time doing it. Feeling very proud of myself

Trivially happy for the extra hour of brightness that's coming. The winter is the same length as other seasons but always feels longer due to the dark evenings.

Being able to find all a summer outfit in about 5 mins, an odd feeling for someone who has a tri location life.

Collecting my chickens 🔠eggs.

Like most people in this thread, the beautiful weather. Got so much done in the garden today plus called out to my parents haven by the sea to give my Mum her mothers day pressie, which she loved and bring my Dad into town. Brought our dog out to beautiful Strandhill, here in Sligo and he had a great run off the lead. Then back home for Mrs. M's lovely chilli con carne and a tasty red. It's been a great day.

That's very bad to be feeding a dog.

New 9-5 job next week, which gives me the ability to actually plan things like seeing friends and family. No more being called in with an hours notice, or being told to go home after arriving!

Great stuff. Good luck with it.

Watching Shameless USA sometimes. I think the acting is unreal in it and not as Carry On as the British one. It's more poignant and heartfelt. My favourite is Lip the scholarship student who struggles with class divide.

The first cut of the grass this morning really put me in a good humour. We've 1/3 of an acre that I cut with a self propelled mower so I basically just walk around in circles with it while listening to some Johnny Cash. It can really put some things in perspective.

It's like being a child again. There's an extra hour of day and with the forecast, it's going to be a nice one. Which means an extra hour outside.....not playing football or cowboys and indians/cops and robbers but still!

And yet another beautiful sunset Sat evening - fire in the sky, last birds singing and big waves crashing on the shore. Never really feel like I am thankful enough to be living beside the sea in the middle of nowhere.

Knowing your reading our happiness posts makes you happy, makes me happy.

With that loop, we could be on to a perpetual motion happiness machine here.

No it isn't.

Too much dairy and sugar for a dog. That said, a little treat can't do too much harm.
I'm happy because of the weather and my plans for the coming week

Back from a two hour drive to deposit Mrs S and our niece at the airport. Home alone now. Coffee brewing, book in hand , heading for the sunshine in the garden before deciding on the menu for dinner. A lazy quiet afternoon beckons. Bliss.

On a split-shift from a job that I handed in my notice to yesterday. The sun is shining and I'm having dinner at the Mothership's house in half an hour or so which will be delicious and then I plan on reading in the sun until I return to work at 6pm. New job and a move to look forward to. Life is starting to straighten out a little.
