happiness
I am having a terrible day. I am just walking around on the verge of tears, and things that normally wouldnt bother me at all feel completly overwhelming.
It is rather ridiculous. So instead of giving into my mood, I am going to try to focus on the positive and copy Bethany and Brandy’s blog post.
so…
Happiness is…
1. An unexpected gift:
My cousin Tommy sent me the most beautiful pair of earrings. The are emerald green drop earrings. But what I loved the most was the note written in his ten year old handwriting, and the fact that he saw jewlrey and bought it for me. It made me feel very special and very loved.
2. A kind word shared with me recently:
My best friend Susie left a card in my mailbox last week. It was a just because card.
3. Something that makes me stop and praise God:
Fall! The leaves are changing colors and the sky is grey and the clouds are so amazing and the water of the lake is so still and peaceful.
4. Something I’m looking forward to:
(is it horrible my first thought was project runway tonight?) But what I am really really looking forward to is seeing my family again, even though I am not entirely sure when that will be. I miss them more than words can say right now.
5. A particular part of me I’m pleased with:
I think I am pleased with how far I have come in the past few years. I look myself two years ago and I dont even recognize who I was. There is an inner strength I never had before.
6. Something in my life that I wanted but never expected:
peace! My rollercoaster of a life has been amazingly steady for a while now. I have to work hard at not creating drama, just because I am more confortable in the chaos.
7. A place that moved/moves me:
The water. I love the water. A lake a rive, the ocean. I am most at peace and most relaxed when I am closest to water.
8. One thing/person that always makes me smile:
The little pop up I get when I have mail.
9. Most recent “love note” from God:
the weather and my quiet time on sunday
(see I feel better already)
