happiness

Happiness (n) state of well being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense, emotions experienced when in a state of well being.

Since I spent most of the last few days in bed, I don't have anything crafty to share today, just some words.  Have you ever thought about what makes you happy?   If you strip away the mother, wife, paper crafter title, who are you and what makes you happy?  For me its the very simple and basic things in life that define me and make me happy.  

what makes me happy
sitting on my children's bed and watching them sleep even though they are not babies anymore
a good cup of tea
sitting on the beach
seeing Mickey Mouse
reading
documenting my families life
chatting with old friends
being authentic and real
watching elderly couples have date night
sleeping in
long showers
sonic ice
Gallo salami
being creative
watching my children smile
hugs from my husband/children
road trips
choosing to be positive
riding my bike
having a Mac

I think I will stop there
I'm not feeling well at all, so when I'm having days like this, I try to be positive instead of wallowing in self pity.  Any little disturbance in my life can send me into a flare up, so positive thinking and finding the blessing of having Crohn's Disease instead of the curse helps the day go by.

I love Florida, but I'm having a little bout of home-sickness, I really miss my friends and family lately.  

I hope you have a wonderful day full of happiness
