This morning I looked outside and saw the damp grey weather - again! 
and thought to myself "what have I got to feel happy about today?" 
The first thing(s) that came to mind was that I have a roof over my head and I wake up each morning in a cosy bed. 
Two very basic things which I guess I take for granted! 
So what makes you happy today?
Why don't you take the Purple Challenge too?

Aw that's lovely 
My daughter took in a small cat from someone who was moving to America. The cat was used to being kept indoors all the time but it wouldn't settle in my daughter's house and hissed and snarled whenever anyone went near her. Fortunately my daughter has a number of out buildings and the cat took up residence in one of those. She still lives in the out buildings but now comes for cuddles when we sit outside.
sounds like she has found happiness too.
cats are so funny, snowy rarely leaves the safety of the house 
My mum had a cat who adopted her, she would return it to the farm a few miles away, but it would always come back. She live in the garage in the end, not to be seen when my family arrived 
But would come into the house and cuddle up with mum only.
it's an interesting challenge, I look forward to reading what brings happiness into other people lives

Sumi was obviously rebelling against captivity - her first owner lived in a smart first floor apartment and she wasn't allowed out. Now she runs free and catches mice and voles! She does get cat food too!
The challenge - I only hope I can remember to do a daily post for the next six days!
a cats life eh!
well I hope you have stocked up well on cat food! it sounds like you Have a lodger forever
I heard once, to get the best seat in the sunshine be prepared to move the cat
a six day challenge.... chricky i'm sure we'll remember
Animals are so uplifting, life is so straight forward in there little world where all they ask is to be fed and loved by some one, they ask for so little and give so much.

What really ..
Makes me feel happy.
Today and every other day.
Is the simple fact of being alive ...
And the thought of what the future may bring.

I thought that this would be hard but here goes.
Waking everyday and having Pets that love me no matter what. Being able to go out and breath in fresh air.

It's a cliche isn't it?
But I think when you are warm and dry and you are not hungry and you feel safe, then you have a lot to be thankful/happy about.

Well the opposite (cold,wet and hungry) makes me feel unhappy

snowy always reminds me that things are not so bad after all. She came to us two years ago a very scared thin little kitty cat indeed.
She had come from a very abused background. She hid and made no noise at all for the first year.
We knew she was about cos the food had gone and the litter tray had been used
Now she wakes me every morning, seeks me out during the day, especially if I home alone
She loves to play, run around screaming
she has over come so much... I am so lucky she loves to give and receive love and kisses
Phew: deep breathes: just had to tell a little her story.
