Happiness is having a totally unscheduled weekend with my husband where we do whatever we want completely guilt free.

Annemarie I have listed a few, thanks for asking the question.

1. Happiness is having a good nights sleep and not being hurt by new shoes.

2. Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

3. Happiness often sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open.
Love

happiness is sleeping in, and waking up to sunshine

happiness is coffee with milk and sugar, hot, but not too hot to sip

happiness is hugs from little arms

Happiness is getting enough sleep, which directly impedes the joy I receive from:

Happiness #2, which is writing and playing with google blog and scrapblog.

Happiness #3, which is really #1, is the joy of being with my family. I cherish our time together, yet I never seem to have enough time to spend with them. (Part of which can be blamed on Happiness #2).

Happiness #4 is that quiet time of morning when the day has not yet begun. When the night sounds are still heard and shooting stars can still be seen streaking across the sky.

Happiness #5 is knowing I've made a child feel a little better about himself or herself. Although that one is not realized very often!

Happiness #6 is that time of day when daylight still lingers, but dusk is settling in. It's also my daughter's favorite time of the day when the setting sun casts a golden glow over each and every one of us no matter where we are on the planet.

Many more "happy" thoughts, and your post has definitely put me in a happy frame of mind! Thank you!

Change of Plans & Calendar Journal Time

Image
Well, as a family we were all going to use the long weekend to trek down to Texas and rip out carpet and paint walls. Come to find out, Gary doesn't have Monday off so it would make a really bad turn around time. So...we decided to stay home and make plans to go another time. Meanwhile, all I can envision is the money pouring out of my already empty pockets into the mortgage and utilities for a house we aren't using. :-( Now, I will look for some free activities to do in the city for the Labor Day weekend. I have seen several advertised on tv. I hope the temperature stays cooler than yesterday (102F.) Yesterday I lazed around the house feeling a little sorry for myself wondering why I don't have a job yet. So I got out my sketchbook and calendar journal and fiddled around. I have been thinking about working on a set of note cards to sell at some local gift shop. They would look like some of these: I just want to unify the theme of them so they seem more like a set. ...

Here Comes August

Image
We made it to Missouri. We have been here a week and a half. I really like it here, but I don't have a job yet. In between the time I am applying for jobs and taking my kids to enroll in school and dance, I have had some time to play with water colors. First up is my completed July calendar journal . I am proud that I have kept up with this as long as I have. Click on images for clearer, larger look . I also have August's ready to be filled. (I have September's, too, but you will have to wait for that one.) I completed 30 days of creating faces . Most of them are female, but there is one questionable one and one definite boy. Don't forget to sign up for Julie's Art Journal Every Day. Finally, I have been inspired by this lady . Her flowers are so bright and vibrant! Paint and I are just getting to know each other so I have tried painting some flowers. Although they are nothing like hers, I am pretty pleased with the outcome. I feel I have neglected my blogging, but ...

No Turning Back

Image
That title makes me think of a song we sing at church. "I have decided to follow Jesus....No turning back, no turning back." This time, however, it has to do with pushing the finalize button on the Expedia website. I finally purchased tickets to fly to Norway this summer with my friend Peggy. This was an idea I conjured up a couple of years ago after making contact with a friend from Norway I met 16 years ago when he was traveling around the US. Peggy heard about it, I asked her if she wanted to come, and surprisingly, she did. Ever since then, I have been working (teaching summer school and selling Mary Kay) to pay for this trip. I think if I hadn't made plans with Peggy, I wouldn't have ever had the guts to actually go . Peggy - World Traveler Everyday, I would go on line and look at the locations we could explore when we got there. I even have an email that I occasionally pasted ideas into to send to Peggy to let her know what we could do in Norway. I bought a boo...
