I picked up one of those women's magazines in a waiting room yesterday (the type I'd never buy because they are filled with plastic people selling plastic non-sustainable ideas! oops, digressing). Flicking halfheartedly through the pages I came across a short article about a study which analysed how height affects a person's success in life. According to this particular American study, taller people are happier than short folk and generally lead more successful lives, supposedly having better paid jobs also. Ha! How about that hey! Are you convinced?
In case you are worried about my well being, I'm here to report that I am a happy, yes very happy almost five-foot-nothing blogger who is indeed quite presently happy! Promise. Oh I have my off days now and then, but sheesh, I'm only human after all. On the whole, I can assuredly state that my height impairment has not had any kind of major negative impact on my achievements or mental state thus far. Maybe it's because I married a tall person hee hee!
Well today I took some photos of the happy stuff in my life....it seemed appropriate given that taking photos makes me so happy!
1. Slow cookers - what a fabulous invention. The smell wafting from ours right now not only makes me happy, but hungry too 2. Hibiscus flowers in our garden - so many different colours and they grow happily without any attention from us! 3. Spider webs - we are lucky enough to have them everywhere in our neglected garden. I think they are wonderous, miraculous things 4. Precious toys - Cubby has made Till Happy since she was a small babe, and you know what they say: happy kids equals happy parents 5. White washing blowing in the breeze - smelling of lavender (ah, there's isn't a smell I like better). And finally 6. A little trampoline action wearing my favouritest skirt ever - cause I'm not too old for a little bouncy time!
Happy? You better believe it!!!!!!!!

My hairdressers is where i catch up on my crappy mags !! Ha ha ! The article sounds crazy but i love love love your photos !! I too adore lavender but this last pregnancy i have a severe addiction to eucalyptus oil !! I add it to my washing too and sniff it all the time and have eaten so many euco drops ( rem those cough lollies ? ) !!! Happy bouncing little cousin !!: )))
Awwwww, I love that you like my pics - because YOU are an amazing photographer. I love eucalyptus too!!! I have fond memories of sneakily sucking on those little round corner-shop eucalyptus drops when I was in primary school! We go through jumbo sized bottles of eucalyptus here....I always ask people visiting us to bring me some as I can only buy little bottles here and it's not very economical.
Well there are two of us five foot nothing girls who can attest to being extremely happy and blow that report right out of the water. I come from a whole tribe of little people (there really are 7 of us, my Nana was snow white)
My whole family are all on the short side of the height scale and are some of the happiest and jolliest people I know.
I now snort at that report!
Thankyou for being your happy joyful self and sharing your sunny life with us through your blog :)
Thanks Cristina....and by golly, you are the happiest petite sweet lady I know!!!!
Favouritest skirt ever huh? That is lovely to hear....I know who made it for you!
