I've spent most of this week whining and complaining. . . about getting up for conference calls at 5:30am and 6:30am. . .up before the roosters. . .not even the dogs get up that early. . .I'm tired. . .my ear hurts. . .why do people schedule 6am AND 4:30 pm meetings (seriously though, that is just wrong). . .my shoulder hurts. . .blah, blah, blah. Then I read NieNie's blog and was reminded that I need to be gracious and look for the positive in the face of adversity. So I'm decided to write about everything that makes me happy. So here goes. . .
Happiness Is. . .
- Maeve and Maude
- the fact that I actually have a job
- my home
- sunny days
- my sister Sarah
- true friends
- coffee
- yoga
- phone calls from Taylor
- birds eating out of my bird feeder
- bluebirds nesting in my bluebird house
- trader joe's fresh salsa

WA.. WA.. Wa.. Just kidding. That is a pretty good list.. and I think I would like to take up some of those activities!! I think Maude and Maeve would bring alot of happiness. Remember those days when I used to watch Maude when you were at work? Well I was typing my thesis at home and she would bark to sit on my lap while I typed. one day I cried because I was frustrated with my lack of thesis writing skills.. and Maude licked my whole face. Dogs truly are smart.. and know when we are down. P.s I also follow that Nie Nie blog.. it is amazing that she has started her blog again and I cannot imagine what pain she must be having. Hope you are doing well?
I love it...thank you.
