Still Thinking About Happiness

Happiness Is...

Cute fingernails.
A great color of lipstick.
Texts from people you love.
Mail.  Real life mail.
Email.  I like that, too.
Laughing so hard your sides ache.  Any laughter, actually.
Perfectly-popped popcorn.
A book of your choosing and a nice warm blanket.
Completing a project.
Lunch with a friend.
Burnt almond fudge ice cream.
Super-long icicles.
Tulips.
Snow that sticks to each individual branch and twig.
The sun so warm it makes your cells dance.
Children who wave at you, whether they know you or not.
Finding something you lost.
Giving the perfect gift.
Sleeping without interruption and waking on your own.
Crossing the start line and knowing you can do it.
Crossing the finish line and not having to do it any more.
Making your entire journey without having to stop at a red light.
NOT wearing nylons.
Family prayer when we're all awake.
A cancelled meeting.  Better yet, a meeting NOT scheduled!
Clean teeth.
Itmes spelt cureckly.
All things Harry Potter.
Finding money in my pocket.

My life.

Today's Goodness

I took today off work because we were going to be driving to St. George.  Even though I knew we were not going, I still took today off.  The timing was awful, I have lots to do at work, and I should be there.  But guess what?

That's what!

The laundry is nearly done.  The kitchen is clean.  The front windows are clean (inside and out).  My hair is cut and colored.  The deposit to the bank is made.  And I bought 4 spools of embroidery floss (what exactly IS forget-me-not blue?) for $1.03 at Robert's, which is having EVERYTHING 50% off through tomorrow.

Breezy asked if we could all come spend the weekend in Far-Away Logan.  Tay has to work, Spencer's kind of an invalid, and I just really want to veg in front of Conference all weekend (in addition to taking care of my sweetheart).  So Ash and Lando are headed up for the weekend for a little weekend party time.  Doesn't that sound fun?  I think so, too.

Our life is sweet, rich, a tiny bit sick, full, and beautiful.

And P.S.  2011 in Utah is having THE most beautiful fall EV.ER.
