What Makes Me Happy

I initially started blogging not for anyone else to read about my sometimes exciting, usually mundane life (which is how I like it); but, as a record for my girls to look back on one day and re-live some of their life events and how I felt about them. When I was pregnant with each of them, I started a true diary that I wrote in frequently. Although the entries have dwindled, I do still pick up the pen every now and then and write in a little story. I love to write and not about anything in particular, just whatever is on my mind that day. Then, I love to go back and read things from 10 years back and remember how great certain times were. I seem to have a terrible memory and can only remember maybe the last week of my life.....anyway, today I want to remember that I am the luckiest girl in the world.

I married the man of my dreams. I truly waited for that perfect someone for me and boy did I find him.....he definitely makes me happy.

I have two beautiful girls who hubby and I live for. Thanks to the good Lord, we have been blessed with these children to care for and guide.....they make me very happy.

I am part of a wonderful family. My mom and dad are still married after 44 years and my in-laws are still married after 44 years (who can say that)-it's awesome. Hubby and I both have brothers and sisters who contribute something special to this thing called family....our family makes me very happy.

I am very content with life and all my surroundings, what more could I ask for? God has been so good to us and we only hope and pray that we can live the life that He would be proud of.

What makes you happy? Stop and think about it today. It may be big things like I just mentioned, or it may be little things like beautiful flowers, microwave ovens, hot water, dishwashers, a perfect sunset, 5 minutes of quiet.....whatever it is, take time to stop and be thankful for it.
