Things that make me happy

As I was venting to a friend this morning about some frustrations, she suggested that I try to focus on things that bring joy to my life. Here is a list of things that make me happy. I am sure that there are MANY more things then I will get down here, but this is what I have so far.

When my husband told me that I looked beautiful
Quinn
Chloe
feeling carefree
having a clean house
filling up the dumpster
going for walks
craft shows
Sitting in the sunshine
posting pictures of completed crochet projects
Desperate Housewives
Being told that dinner was good
Talking to Gena
Losing weight
Dancing to loud music
Splashing in puddles
Taking long hot showers
Fresh air coming in the windows
Thinking about going to Disney World with the family
Watching Chloe dance
Seeing Quinn score a goal
Glee
Randomly breaking out in song
Movie theater popcorn
Chipotle
snuggling a baby
when the children tell me that they love me
The smile on Quinn's face when I took him mini-golfing
When the leaves change colors
Envisioning freedom
Helping others

Starting a Blog

I have never EVER blogged before. I have never even wanted to blog, and I am not quite sure that I know HOW to blog. BUT I just spent the last two hours (which I didn't really have to spend) reading through the blog of someone that I barely know, and it fascinated me. Not only do I now feel like I know her so much better, I also feel like it's not fair that she doesn't have that chance to know me as well. But in her blog, she talked about her child, her relationships, things that she is thankful for, things that she thinks about and changes in her life. She struggles with her self image and her body image, and has found an outlet to deal with it, and a way for others to hear her and support her. I love this idea and hope I can do it!
