I was contacted by @michelletwinmum via Twitter suggesting I post and link to her brilliant blog Mummy From the Heart on a theme called Reasons to be Cheerful 1,2,3 (Goodness, how many links can I get into once sentence!)

The purpose of the meme is to list three things which have made me cheerful this week. As my philosophy is Glass Half Full, its ideal for me.I can always find something to be thankful for.

1 This is not a cheerful from this week, but nearly four weeks ago, but I was given the all clear from cancer. I may cheat and use this for every 'Reasons to be Cheerful' post, because it still takes my breathe away every time I think about it.

2. Although I am suffering a bit with insomnia (due to the HRT), just think how much more time I have to tweet, facebook and blog?!

3. I'm getting stronger and can feel improvements every day.

There you go, short and sweet, but no less considered and worthwhile
