Things to look forward to: May

If you read my post last week you'll know that I planned to create a list every month of things to look forward to. And as it's the first of the month (how is it May already?) I thought that there's no better time to start. 

 A week off work. Blissful.

My mum's birthday at the end of the month.

The promise of warmer weather.

Trying new recipes in the cook books I bought with left over birthday money.

Getting further with my garden and tackling the front garden.

Having my eyebrows shaped. (I've been growing them to have them shaped properly and not plucking them is killing me!)

Painting the bedside tables and making them look pretty.

What are you looking forward to in May? 

Don't worry about a thing.

There's been a lot of blog posts about positivity recently which I think is great, I think Easter has really got people thinking, I'm not sure why, but people seem to have looked at what they are doing. Even if it's just starting 100 happy days project. Maybe it's the sunshine that's had a really positive effect on people!

 We all take for granted the things we have and it's only when you lose them that you realise how lucky you were to have had them in the first place. Life's not always kind but it's about learning to deal with the blows. You can go either one or two ways. Either spiral into a deep depression or you can choose to move on. Move on and look for the positives. The things you do have. Things you should be so grateful for. I think people can be really negative and that doesn't help anyone. The next time you are having a down day make a list of things you are grateful for, things you're going to do, things to look forward too and enjoy life.

I've decided that every month I'm going to write down a list of things I'm looking forward to that month starting next week (can you believe it will be May already?). That way I've always got something to look forward too. Being happy is a choice and it's time to forget the negatives and just enjoy life!

Keep update to date with me at the weekends through twitter & instagram.
