Happiness

Question 5. What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?

I like dwelling on the positive, or at least I think I do, so I decided to tackle this question first.

1.  As I am typing, my husband is putting my four year old to bed.  Not only does that alone make me happy (we rotate or sometimes do together, but when it's his turn, I get me time:), but to top it off they are singing church songs.  Ella is singing, "Nephi's courage" so loudly it's the cutest thing in the world. We've started trying to read scriptures with her.  We're only in 1Nephi, chapter 3, but it's wonderful to see her asking questions and learning to hopefully love the scriptures.  Such a sweet thing to eavesdrop on.

2.  It's summer!  What's not to be happy about?  I only work a few days in July and I'm enjoying more time at home with my girls, and more time focusing on being healthy and spending time with those that mean so much to me like friends and family.

3.  I'm happy to have a job.  I'm happy to have a good job.  I'm happy my husband has employment and is on his way to a really good career.  In this difficult economy, it's not a small thing to be happy about.

4.  I just bought a swim suit I actually like:)  Don't necessarily love my hips, but love the suit!

5.  Pinterest makes me happy.  It's where I go to dream, and it keeps me from on line shopping.  Instead, I dream of traveling to Budapest, Provence, or living at the beach.  I've also started downloading recipes from Pinterest and cooking more:)  That's always a good thing.
