Happiness

Maybe it’s just the Grande Skim Iced Mocha talking, but I am having a good day and I just have to say . . .

Happiness

Thank God for waking up to snowy days that give way to sunshine.  For girl dates, mani/pedis, Starbucks and happy nail polish colors such as Margarita Pink and Bubble Bath.  Hot pink underwear that don white and orange flowers, especially on dull winter days.  Dark chocolate in a variety of flavors – cranberry, blueberry, toffee and almond.  For cafes that have wifi.  Poets like Anne Sexton that speak randomly and get my creativity flowing.  Books so good that you lose yourself. Work weeks when I know I’ll have pockets of extra time.  Bright, vivid colors and the lights of a city so close to home. Friends that you never forget although you are far away and haven’t spoken in months.  A childhood that has given me such a strong foundation for a happy adulthood.  Cats that tolerate your constant kissing, cuddling and occasionally return the affection by loving you so much they drool.  A husband that is too busy to come to bed at the same time as me, but never lets me doubt his love.  For the freedom of a freelance job and being able to talk to a people group that so many can’t. Hands that write and sign, love and help.  For health and special memories of loved ones that you can’t possibly forget.  Random smiles on treadmills while at the gym, a passing happy thought.  Thank God for faith and meditation, for never feeling alone. 

 Thank God.
