I’m delighted to be hosting this week’s Black and White Challenge for Paula. For the start of a new year, and my birthday weekend, we deserve a cheery topic. In fact, it’s “Sweet ’16” this year and that just has to be the ideal time to consider happiness.
So, what will Amuse you? Brighten your day? Cheer you up? Delight you? Elate you? Fill you with joy? Gladden your heart? Humour you? Infuse you with pleasure? Jazz up your day? Kindle a love of this moment? Lift your mood? Make you merry? Naturalise your mirth? Overjoy you? Pep you up? Quicken your heartbeat? Raise your spirits? Satisfy you? Tickle you pink? Uplift you? Vivify you? Wow you? Exhilarate you? Yell “be happy”? Zap you with pleasure?
What a thought-provoking image, as I canvass the ways this bench could make me happy: its possible location, its peeling paint for a start, then the rocks beneath its feet or its availability at a point of fatigue. Let me count more ways as I go about my day.

Yes I suppose the bench could make two people very happy, if they cosied up to one another and spent some time cuddling and chatting. 😘

Thanks Sue. It was in Rye, which is a happiness giving place anyway – very attractive.
