49. Take a photo of 30 happy things.
I can’t help but think we go through life not recognising the things which makes us happy and if we took more note, we could be happier. This list is in no particular order, just as I think of/see them and are from all aspects of life.

#9 – Knitting
I started knitting for my 101 Things and I love it. It’s so nice to go from two sticks and a ball of wool to a garment or an item. It’s a hobby I can do regardless of how well/ill I feel and something that doesn’t take huge amounts of effort. It’s lovely to see people’s faces when I knit things for them and in return, it makes me happy too.
#10 – Stitch and Bitch
I’m not sure where I would be without my S&B group, well I suspect I would be quite lonely actually! Every Tuesday I go to a lovely wine bar to chat with lovely friends about everything and anything. I try my best to go unless I’m away or if I’m really too ill as I always enjoy it when I get there. It’s been the start of close friendship and fun with friends, I love it.
#11 – Chippy Suppers
I crave Scottish East Coast chippies more than anything else. The first meal I always want to eat when I go home, usually smoked sausage suppers but I’m quite partialled to a battered burger too. It always has to have nippy sauce (part sauce, part vinegar) and either Irn Bru or Vimto. I do love a chippy supper, yum.
#12 – Birthdays
Who doesn’t love their birthday? The day where you are the centre of attention, where you get to do what you want to do and have fun. When my mum’s birthday arrives, I always know I have three weeks and one day until mine and the excitement arrives!
#13 – Friends
I am very blessed to have such good friends, from many parts of my life. I have some older friends (from years back), many internet friends, friends I’ve met online who have become some of my best friends (like all in the above photo), friends from Stitch and Bitch, friends I’ve met through Dean. I don’t think I could ever have too many friends and I’m so lucky to have the friends I have.
