Happiness

Happiness is never stopping to think if you are. ~Palmer Sondreal

My blog post today is about things that make me happy w/out having to think about it. I’m sticking with the Thankful theme for the month of November and hope to continue writing this month to remind myself all that I am blessed with.

Exercise daily. Walk with the Lord! ~Author Unknown

Every night as I close my eyes, I talk with the Lord. I turn all my worries over to Him. It gives me such peace to know that He will take these things off my mind so I can sleep soundly and start the next day anew. Our God is great!

While we try to teach our children all about life,Our children teach us what life is all about.~Angela Schwindt

I love my niece and nephew with all my heart and soul! They teach me something new every time I am with them. Last night I was able to spend time with them. I read books to my niece as I have done since she was born and for the 2nd time she read to me. Wow! What a proud and uplifting moment to know she CAN read and ENJOYS it as much as I do. It is so bittersweet to be reminded of how grown up she is becoming but to miss that dear precious baby she once was. And my nephew… To see his memory work and for him to remember our games we play, such as airplane. “up high, Ti Ti”, He says with the hugest smile. He giggles are music to my heart. I got to tuck them into bed last night and they both came back out to the living room and asked to be tucked in again. God, Thank You for these two precious beings in my life.

Babies are such a nice way to start people. ~Don Herrold

My bambino, you are growing in my little sister’s belly now. I wonder if you are going to be my niece or my nephew. I secretly wish for both and can’t make up my mind which you will be. I love you already! I can’t wait to begin to make memories with you as I do with Jordan and Brayden. I am already starting to think about your mommy’s baby shower and whether you will make your arrival as expected on June 5th or will you come early in May. Hang tight in there and know you are so loved by God!

Friends are kisses blown to us by angels. ~Author Unknown

I am the type to have a few really great friends. I have friends that I can be completely honest with and know that they will not be hurt by my truthful words. I don’t believe in sugar coating anything. And I expect the same from them. I can laugh with them AND cry with them. Making memories only we share.

You can't wrap love in a box, but you can wrap a person in a hug. ~Author Unknown

I absolutely love hugs! They can make any day brighter. Some of the best hugs I have received recently have been from new friends. There is nothing better than a warm hug! Hugs provide a great shoulder to lean on as well. I wasn’t raised in a ‘huggy’ family, but I make sure my niece and nephew are hugged at least a hundred times when I am with them. I want them to be able to accept and give hugs throughout their life because they can make all the difference in someone’s day.

I would thank you from the bottom of my heart, but for you my heart has no bottom. ~Author Unknown
