The Sun Was Out

Today was such a great day!! The sun was shining and that made me happy!!

I love coming home to my beautiful house and smelling the fall in the air. The leaves are changing just a bit and it is a small glimpse as to what is to come. The chimney needs to be swept and then a big roaring fire....


Happiness is also receiving a gift of the heart from such a great friend. Words of wisdom to get me through.... Thank you Rachel....

And Marcia, thank you for always lending an ear!! You are the best!!

So I will hold onto that feeling when the sun is warm and the air is cool whenever I have an unhappy moment.

Helping a Friend

Today I had a much happier day!! I think when I help people I feel more accomplished in my life. Helping myself..... well that is all together a harder thing for me.

Today I helped a friend get caught up. It felt so good to help and I know how HAPPY she is because of this.

Happiness is also soccer. Today I had a game for my son to go to and it was so much fun to see him play the whole game. Although we lost it was still FUN!!

JUST ONE MOMENT AT A TIME

Do you ever just need to take one day or even moment at a time to get through.... I often just have to remind myself of this. Each day I try to find happiness in each and every thing. But... some days it is just hard. A harsh word by a friend... unintentional I am sure... kids having meltdowns and all you want to do is have one yourself..... the never ending cleaning....


But that is when I have to turn it around and remember how good things are. Happy Really.....

I get into these funks and just can't get out of them. But then my friends show up and hang out with me to get me through. And the feeling from that is just... WOW... someone cares that much about me. Someone made the effort for me... Then I feel how silly I was to be in funk in the first place and to worry my friends.

I had a friend who once said... Being happy is so much easier than being sad or angry. I agree. But sometimes it is just hard...

So to my friends. Thank you...... I love you and thank you for being there.

A WHOLE DAY TO MYSELF

Today was incredible.

Cady went on her first bus ride with the biggest smile ever!!

Chloe started middle school.

Being alone in my house for a few moments of time.


Although extremely selfish, happiness today was spending the day with my friend Marcia!!

The kids came home happy and excited. What a great feeling.

Hope your day was HAPPY as mine was.

SHOPPING!!!

Today my happiness was shopping with my four beautiful, fun and crazy happy kids..... Phew... What a day!!

Everyone was happy!! That doesn't happen usually and tomorrow is the first day of school.....

Another Happy thing is... Cady my youngest daughter lost her Second big tooth. She is no longer a little girl... She is going to first grade all day. And I quote... "I LOVE SCHOOL, I GET TO LEARN" - So Cute.

So Remember to find happy things to make your day go a little better. Today for me it was shopping with four kids - CRAZY HAPPY and only a mother could love it!!
