Reasons to be Cheerful - Great First Week!

Loving this photo from our visit last week to NT East Riddlesden Hall. I think Miss M looks
like a winner up there and I feel like a winner at the moment!

It's the weekend, Yay!  We've not got anything planned and I'm quite happy with that. My parents arrive on Monday for a week, so I'm sure next week will be a busy one with plenty going on.

This week I started my new job with Spring Harvest and it has been great. Here are a few reasons why I'm feeling cheery about my new job -
  • Not only is my job share partner very nice, she also seems efficient and capable. Things that are super important to me!
  • I'm part of a great team, really diverse and I think we'll have fun.
  • I'll be helping to organise the big Christian Spring Harvest breaks that I've been going to for the last 14 years, I feel very privileged to be a part of the organisation now, and the work seems interesting. 
  • Each week we have prayers and it was good to join with everyone to pray for both work and personal situations.
  • I took my food in each day and ate sensibly. There's also a well equipped kitchen so I can prepare healthy lunches at work.
  • We work flex-time, so I can start early and suit my family's needs.
  • It's nice to have a chance to wear smarter clothes again.
  • I have about a 45 minute drive each way, so one way I've been listening to an audio book I've bought and the other to pray or worship.
  • I got home to jacket potatoes with various fillings and salad prepared by JJ on Monday and spaghetti bolognaise cooked by my hubby on Tuesday.
  • There is a good gym on the same industrial estate I work on, so when my hours change in early September, I'll join and be back to swimming and exercising a couple of times a week. 
  • As I've been sat at a desk my step count has been down, so I got straight home on my first day and then headed out for a walk around the lake with my hubby. Good for the soul and our health. 
  • I'm also on top of my freelance and blog work, so I go into the weekend with a tiny to-do list!

Come and Join In!

I'd love to read your Reasons to be Cheerful and it is as easy as 1, 2, 3 to join in -

1. Link up a post about something that is making you super happy/ grateful. It can be in this style or it can be anything you like - a recipe, a tutorial, a from the heart, a list - it's your blog, you choose

2. Add the #R2BC badge onto your post or blog so that people can easily find the linky and join in too if they fancy

3.  Share the love. This is the really important bit. Please don't just link and run, comment on at least a couple of posts and why not share with #R2BC too?

I'll stop by all linked up posts to comment and I'll share on twitter too.

The linky will be with me each Saturday morning for the month of June and then it goes back over to Becky at Lakes Single Mum for July.
