Happiness is a Choice We Make Every Day

So much is out of our control, but we can control how we react to things.  The news right now is so full of gloom and doom, some of it touches us directly, some of it we just worry about, etc.  I'd like to start a post where we list "happy thoughts".

1. My garden is built and ready to plant-I'll get to watch veggies grow all summer (and eat them too).

2. Oliver the Parrot has learned new words and word combos, and makes me laugh all the time.

3. I wake up each morning to the sound of the parakeets chattering and singing-much better than an alarm clock.

4. My health is better than it has been in ages.

 

What are your happy thoughts?

My happy thoughts are:
1. spring is just around the corner and sweet peas will be blooming

Deb - I love this post.  I have read something somewhere that says that only you can decide what kind of day you are going to have.

My happy thoughts:

1)  I have the most wonderful, supportive husband who makes me feel special every day.

2)  I am smaller than I have been since 1989 and I am loving it!

3)  I am blessed to be going to Europe in May with a great friend that I love and I won't have to worry about fitting in the airplane seat and won't have to fret about the seat belt!

4)  I am exercising at least 5 days a week and not hating it!

5)  I saw my first robin red breast yesterday so I know that spring is right around the corner!

6)  I have met some really special people through my wls journey and many of them I already know will be lifelong friends.

7)  I have friends that are planting gardens who are going to share the spoils!  (hint!  hint!  ) (I think this dude is drooling over veggies!)

Great Post Deb! 

I make it a point to thank GOD everyday about the blessings I have in my life...Here are a few of my happy thoughts that I get to think about each day and smile...

1. The love of an AMAZING and INCREDIBLE man...that takes my breath away everyday

2. A wonderful and supportive family

3. The fact that everyday brings me closer and closer to springtime (May) and summer..warmer weather

4. My health, and how great I feel after WLS

Wow, i didn't even think that they made men in those flavors anymore.  Wow, so who is it that is doing this to our OKCgirl?  Especially in Oklahoma....  I know there are incredible men there, but not AMAZING and INCREDIBLE...at the same time.... 

congrats on finding happiness...

(dammit there goes my chance to hit on her...)
