Apart from getting married, which was the most happiest event of my whole life! I was also really happy going to stay in France. This was in the late (1970s) and It was so interesting to be in another country that was not Britain!
To hear a different language being spoken that sounded like a song or poem to my ears, that was really amazing. To meet some new people who had a different outlook on life, yet were just people like me. I did not yet know the language, but I wanted to learn and I still have friends there. It was my stay in France that has inspired me to study for this BA Degree in languages.
We have not had a holiday there now in a long time, due to family commitments, health problems and so on, but I won't complain because this post is about being happy.
The third happiest event of my life was moving here to this area of (rural east midlands) after my marriage, gaining a new family, that of my husbands family (aunt and uncle) who have been good to me, and having my own two children, this was also incredible and a fascinating journey too.
Of course like all families we have had our ups and downs but mostly it was good. I don't think having loads of money can make you happy, but having enough to cover your basic needs, not to have to struggle too much, that is important and so is having good health.
It is mainly about having a balanced attitude to life, to see the glass as half full, rather than half empty. To have gratitude for what you do have, rather than crying about what you don't have. Anyway, thats just what I think.
What makes you happy? What was the happiest moment of your life?
Three things that have made me happy
