on a lighter note

Casey (who also makes me happy)

So my niece's father is working for this motivational speaker, and I think it rubbing off on him too. He's been talking lately about how you feel is based largely on what you choose to focus on, so in this post, I will focus on things that make me happy. Feel free to share what has made you happy this week and we can have a big ol' bask in our happiness party. . . Hey it's kind of like when Oprah was on that big gratitude journal kick, where everyday she encouraged people to write five things they were grateful for that day. . . I never really found it all that uplifting. . . crap there I go being all negative again. Ok, here it is.

Things that have made me happy in the last week:

- sleeping
- eating
- going to Kristi's art show opening and having a nice talk with her
- Sara winning on the Bachelor (yeah, I watch the Bachelor, you wanna make something of it?)
- getting new CDs and discovering my new love of DeYarmond Edison (I highly recommend you check them out)
- Jen singing with a band at O'Leary's
- One of my early childhood kids telliing me he was from Mars
- Another one of my early childhood gets getting really excited about what we were working on
- waking up this morning to a light dusting of snow covering everything making it look pure and clean and hopeful again
