I have been avoiding writing report cards for most of the day and, as a result, have discovered a plethora of Aussie blogs that I am in love with already. I have been happily jumping from one to the other, adding them to my Aussie blog file under My Favourites and dreaming about the day that we can go there and I can, possibly, maybe, hopefully meet some of these amazing women in person.
Anywho, in my surfing, I came upon this blog and decided that I could do with writing a random happy list myself. So, here goes. My happy list in no particular order...
my hubby, getting a kiss-kiss from my daughter, reading, nights by myself, the touch of my husband's hands in my hair, my studio, blog surfing, the laughter of 6 year olds, giving my mother a hug, thinking of my dad (may he rest in peace and quiet), cuddles with my dog, soft blankets, old photographs, fruit loops, midsomer murders on knowledge network, snail mail, sewing, making things, my grandmama's stool, vanilla bubble baths, the silence of snow, gabriola island, pink's music, library visits, thrift stores, quotes worth remembering, moving house, new ideas, Christmas carols, my blog, sleeping in, a good cup of coffee, mint chocolate, eggnog, sunshine slanting on the mountains, magazines, decorating shows, old movies, craft shows...
I could go on and on and on...how glad I am that I can say that. These past two months have been difficult in so many ways with my father passing away, work issues, family stuff, the list of negatives could easily take over the things for which I am happy. But, I am so glad to focus on the positive, to see the hope and joy in each and every day. To see the light through the clouds.
If you keep your face towards the sun the shadows are always behind you :D I love your happy list. Coffee should be on mine..mus go make one. Then come back and read some more of your blog too
