R2BC Thursday Hopping on

This Thursday, I have discovered a fun blog hop to join in with called reasons to be cheerful ( or R2BC as Mummy From the Heart calls it.) The requirements to join in is to give 3 reasons I am cheerful. So here are mine for this week.

Number 1: I am very thankful for my new little girl, PJ, of course. It has been a fun filled 5 months so far on our journey together. She is a fabulous reason to be cheerful for me. This week, she has been poorly with a very high temperature, so our cheerful moments have been interspersed with lots of cuddles on the sofa, CBeebies, tears and quiet moments, a trip to the doctors and some short energy bursts to play. The usual cheerful smiles have been very treasured when they have happeened, this week and I have loved the special Mummy and PJ bonding/nurturing times we have been able to share on the sofa.We have used lots of this:

and thankfully, it is working!

Number 2: I have fantastic friends, some of whom I have known for a long time. One friend, who lives a few hours away came to visit this week. She brought PJ a lovely welcome gift

She also brought a pink mug for me too. It all matches in design to my crockery set (although my whole dinner set is not pink - honestly!) so is a gift to be treasured on many levels for us. Her visit (and her gifts)brought lots of smiles and laughter and for us both some shared memories as well as the gift of hope to share ideas and hopes and dreams for the future.It cheered me up no end!

Number 3: Tea always cheers me up! Having spent most of the week indoors, I have had many a cuppa and also enjoyed many a shared laughter moments with my weekly group of friends. They have been a tower of strength these last few years on my adoption journey and have supported me all the way. We meet together once a week and there is always tea and cake!
