Happiness!
Monday, January 25th, 2010
Lately I’ve been overwhelmed with how happy I’ve been lately. I have a home that fits (most of) my few worldly possessions, I have a husband who loves me, makes me laugh and works hard, and two cats who love me very much. I have my many hobbies (drawing, painting, knitting, spinning, dyeing, analyzing music at length and then writing about it), and I have two jobs that I love. I make banners and copy write/edit for television and radio station websites in the area, and I work full time at a music store with the best boss I’ve ever had. I’m also constantly making lists and looking forward to what I’m going to do next to further myself in this or that arena.
Life is pretty good for me lately, because I try to make the days better for myself. Winter is dreary and we all know that, so today I’m wearing a dress and some lipstick while I bounce around the house doing laundry and working. Simple pleasures, I think, are the key to being happy in whatever circumstance you’re in.
As for you lovely LSG folk, I’m thankful for all that you do, for helping me personally and for raising over $45,000 (at the time of this posting) for disaster relief in Haiti. I’m amazed and heartened by such a great movement of hearts and resources toward the tragedy.
