Happiness is spending a few days in a tiny, completely flat, bike friendly coastal town enjoying the marine air and playing in the water - freezing btw - even though it was overcast the whole time we were there.
Happiness is, also, showering after a long drive home with sand goddess knows where and snuggling up on the couch to read a book in the quiet of my own home. Ahh....

I can't believe I am so excited over an old second hand exercise bike! Only two hours to go and I can go and collect it.

Changing my own flat so I could go mountain bike - alone! DH normally takes pity and changes them but I was at the trail alone so I had to do it myself. It held the whole ride, I felt so accomplished.

Happiness isn't sleeping on an uncomfortable bed while staying with a friend in Shakespeare's town but it is good being able to use my iPhone in bed and just about get a signal to read your excellent news Jess. Originally Posted by jessmarimba

Hearing from my far away friend Jessmarimba and knowing she has got past the last 3 months after breaking her back and is making a good steady recovery.
It's funny how you can become friends with somebody who has had a similar accident to yourself, thousands of miles away but have such sympathy and empathy with them.
You are doing well Jesse.

Ach--my cousin broke her back in 1968 and she instantly bonds with anyone who has had a similar experience.

Happiness is coming home after a weekend away to an otherwise cool and standoffish cat who is practically stumbling over her own feet trying to weasel her way onto your lap, purring and headbutting, when you sit down for dinner
