5 things that made you happy

Can we list 5 things that made us happy this week? 1.  The thought of my GS "tinking" plastic wine glasses filled with juice at our picnic. Those glasses are in the picnic bag I have and each time we all took a drink, we had to tink the glasses together with everyone at the table.  c-u-t-e 2.  All my friends and their grandkids and my grandkids playing in a warm Saturday sunshiny day.  3.  Spending our tax refund on joyful things:  paying off bills, new camera for DH, vacation saving, maybe a new swing for the porch 4.  wonderful walk before work like I prefer - warm, pre-rainy weather, quiet, beautiful. AND the time is changing again - gettin lighter outside a hair earlier every day. 5. Work feels under control at last as of yesterday.

1.  When my little boy says "mommy, i loved you my whole life" 2.  New blue jeans and some bad ass heels to go with them. 3.  Laying in bed on the weekend and listening to the rain outside 4.  My husband working 72 hours a week so we can have the things we want.  5.  My parents moving 10 minutes away in two weeks.

1. I lost another1.8 this week. 2. My son bought me a new computer, 3. My daughter bought me a bistro set for the kitchen. 4. Had dinner out with part of the family , wish we all could have done it LOL, and 5. For being loved and cared for by my DH and Kids, they support me in more than words can say, Love them to pieces!  Delilah

1. Racing someone on the Ocean Beach Parkway in the summer (this really long, two lane parkway that runs about 50 yards away from the Atlantic Ocean - gorgeous scene) 2. Driving home with my windows down in the summer (can you tell I like the summer?) 3. Hearing my dog "talk" to me - He makes this "Wooo woooo" noise - so freakin' cute. 4. Getting flowers at work and making every girl in the office jealous.  5. Watching Biggest Loser with my best friend Kevin.

1.  My Baby niece saying my name, hugging me, and filling  me with kisses - I just think of her and   I'm joyful. 2.  My new healthy relationship - taking a stroll after going out to eat a light meal.  I felt really great about being with him (we laughed so much), about being in control and waiting to eat and then eating what I wanted wisely.  3.  Feeling kind of  pretty again. I can't stop smiling. 4. Being genuinely happy inside and drawing positive people and things to me because of it 5.  Hearing my niece Jasmine's voice.  I literally glow when I see her.  She is away at school.  I helped to raise her until she was 16 and even now at 19 I'm sort of her other Mother.  What a beautiful young lady and she is part of me.  I love that Baby Girl.  She took pictures of the eclipse for me last night in Binghamton University.  I couldn't see a thing in the city ;-).

Hmm, how about 5 things today only? -my dog looked at me lovingly and asked for a bellyrub before fully waking up for our walk -my trainer and I talked it out and things are better -I better  understand what was happening with my trainer

-I was running over a half hour late and STILL made it to work on time -I didn't gain weight from the steroid I had to take this week (though I haven't lost either)

Ok lets see here.... 1. The pizza I ate last night lol. It made me extremely happy that I ordered it. :) 2. My Illinois employee who hasn't seen me since August saying everyday that i have been in the office. "Girl, you look GOOD!" "WOW!" "Your hair is longer and just wow girl you look good!" haha. He made my days. He even had to take a pic of me lol. 3. My mom and my boyfriend willing to go to my apartment and give some loving to my cat...who is deeply depressed because I am not there. I will see him tonight tho! :) So that will make me extremely HAPPY! 4. Going back to Michigan today....I like Chicago, but if someone was here with me it would be a hell of alot better! So yea as soon as I hit Michigan I will be happy!....I might stop in Indiana and hit the Casino up with 20bux just to test my luck :) 5. This hasn't happened yet but it will make me happy this week. Saturday morning....the scales will read 239 or less lol!!! :)

Can we list 5 things that made us happy this week? 1.  We had two GREAT spring-like days and the snow is MELTING- I can FEEL concrete under my wheels/feet! 2.  We got the down payment for a permit we are selling and paid off two state loans   And within the next month- we'll get half our other BIG debts paid as well!  AND to top that off... after being cut back for months- I got a $500+ increase to my monthly income!!! (There IS light at the end of the deep tunnel we've dug!)   3.  My 6 y/o daughter is FINALLY wanting to learn to read!!! (we think she has some sort of learning disability but are yet to figure it out- this has turned her away from wanting to try) 4.  I got to start working my elliptical again last night- and even went UP to program #2! 5. We are on the count down to our first vacation in 14 years! EIGHT DAYS (but WHO is counting?? LOL) 

!) There is an ice storm outside and I have no where to go. 2) My middle daughter is finally over the flu. 3) My sister dyed and cut my hair for yesterday. Her early birthday present to me. 4) Finally got my federal income taxes filed. Nice little chunk of change coming back.

5) My tax refund is twice as big as what I owe on my property taxes I couldn't pay last summer. I can pay them now.

That's great re: the $ for taxes.  What a scary thing since it can lead to losing your home!  Glad all is well.
