Seeing an ultrasound scan of my eldest daughter's 17 week old baby  <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/cheesygrin.gif" alt="Cheesy" title="cheesy grin" />

What are your reasons to be cheerful?

Yep! It's due on 3rd December, I'll be 51 on the 1st December so there is the possibility it will be born on my birthday which would be rather nice.

Congrats, Tank!!!!  :D

Is this intended as a thread for everyone's "reasons to be cheerful," or just a sneaky way to announce your grandchild's imminent arrival?

Good to hear, Tank. That's sweet.

Lots of reason to be cheerful, just that we often forget. I'm happy that no matter what kind of day I'm having, when I come home, my dogs greet me as if I was a long, lost friend. They get so excited and happy that I forget about the problems of the day.

We are members of a 'Happy' forum, atheist, agnostic or theist, the operative word is 'happy', so what are your reasons to be cheerful?
