you know what is making me happy today : ) I believe I have only 13 days left.
What's making me happy today is enjoying my son being home from college. :D
Sunshine, waiting for chicks to hatch, reading to my kids, fans, getting to meet our baby in one week or less...
Wonderful post! You are so right!
Just read your comment over at 'this is my life"...so I'll have to say...
I am thankful for the bees, the chickens, our little piece of heaven here on the suburban homestead, for my parents who started it all 40 years ago and are still going strong, and for my loving husband who (too) helps and supports all my crazy ideas!! I am also thankful he said no..to the goat. : ) You are so right - he needs a hug. Thanks!!
Today Happiness was:
-Singing to God
-Hearing just the right song on the radio
-Supporting friends
-Watching my children and students find more strengths and talents
-Having my teen and tween sons come find me in the house just to be near
-Knowing my mom is proud of me as a mom
Happiness today is ...
- Getting a text message from my sister saying that the Codymeister wants to visit GRANDMA MASSACHUSETTS! Now! Where's his packpack?!
- Having a sister.
- Having a car that starts.
- Greenery in the yard.
- Greenery in the neglected garden plot.
- Making a grocery store list and knowing I can get most of it.
- Finding the perfect birthday card for Mom.
- Having the dishes all washed.
- Knowing tomorrow is Farmers' Market day.
Should I go on? :)
