Reasons to be Cheerful

This is my first ever Reasons to be Cheerful post. I regularly read my Mum's R2BC and thoroughly enjoy them. Seeing as she is hosting this week, I thought I'd give it ago (despite beingquite late with it), so here goes.

Perhaps my  two biggest reasons to be cheerful are:

I have moved into a new house with two wonderful house mates that make me feel happy, welcome and relaxed at home, what more could you ask for?

Secondly I have received a promotion at work. In only six months I have managed to move up from Clinical Research Technician II to Senior Clinical Research Technician II! This involves a lot more responsibility, I'm in charge of running and organising certain studies amongst a number of other things. Quite frankly I am loving it!

Strangely enough I don't think that these two reasons to be cheerful are what have made my week. That was yesterday. I had a few of my new London friends round to my house for a roast dinner, some drinks and some good conversation. It was the first time I have done this since moving to London nearly seven months ago now and it really made me feel comfortable and settled. Here was a small group of good friends spending some time together and enjoying one another's company and it made me feel good!

So all in all I am beginning to feel like I am making a real life for myself up here in the Big Smoke. What better reason than that is there to be Cheerful?
