H is for . . . Happy

I have been down and out. I have been to the lowest of lows. I have felt like the world was over, my world was over.
Being a teenager is hard for everyone, I felt this, maybe harder than a lot of people. I also felt this way for bits after E was born.
Many people suffer Post Natal Depression and I wish it upon no one. I felt useless, helpless, like I was doing everything wrong. When I was there, in that darkness, I felt as though there was no end to the sadness. But one day, the sun came out and I felt better.
It still strikes every now and then, in much smaller doses. But I feel 100 times better than I did, and for that I feel Happy and I feel thankful.

Today my little family went for a visit to the beach. It made me think about how lucky I am, today, in this moment and in that moment, I am happy. From the very bottom of my heart to the tips of my toes, I am overwhelming happy with life! I feel so blessed to have everything I have, and even with a little man who is seriously unhappy about his upcoming teeth, I am happy.

So linking up on my most favourite day, with my most favourite blogger "Six by the Bay" For Thankful Thursday, I am so very thankful to be happy!
















What are you thankful for?
