52 Weeks Of Happy

Here's my Happy shots this week, linking in with Little Birdie to show the things that have made me happy this week
 
Wk 23
3rd June- 9th June
It took me a while to come round to thinking about some happy pictures this week, nothing was startlingly obvious- and then I realised I was kind of missing the point- because it's the little things that are meant to matter- not necessarily anything big- Somewhere I'd lost that notion among the way, But once I got that into my head everything slipped back into place and I began to see things in a whole new light.
Clear roads in the morning on the way to school- It's the local school holidays, so no traffic on the way to work- no mad Malay drivers, No cause for road rage, a journey time more than halved- what's not to like:) 
 
 
We held a Walkathon for charity at school this week- laps around a local park. The lake there was so still and quiet as we arrived there about 8. 15. Not for long, as the park was then filled with 150 kids, running and walking around the track- But it was sunny, out and about and a great way to spend a workday morning:)
 
I haven't been doing any walking/ running for quite some time now-  due to a niggling ankle pain that won't give up- but I decided to get my feet back in those trainers and start again- I may not be able to run- but doing my 5k around the park at a brisk walk was pleasing enough- It's better than nothing- so back into the habit I think.
 
A bit of a damp start to the morning- but you can just make out the sunrise and a beautiful morning sky.

 
That's me up there! Paragliding!!
 

 
Waffles and ice cream, with maple syrup!! Now I definitely need to keep up with the walking ! 
 
Hope you all had a great week too!

  4. It usually is the small things that make you smile isn't it? Lovely to have empty roads to travel and to complete your walk. I don't know that the para-gliding would make me happy but I'm glad it did you:)
