Sunshine

I'm so happy to have seen so much of the sunshine lately. I love the winter, but I've missed the sunshine. It makes me smile.

I'm proud that my mother had the balls to apply for the newly open Personnel Director position. As the Personnel Assistant she's been doing all the directors dirty work for years any way, it would be nice for her to finally be recognized and paid for it.

I'm grateful that I'm in a position to be available to stay home with my girls when their sick. And I joke about being their taxi driver but again I am thankful to be in a position to be available to do those things for them. It also gives me the peace of mind of knowing where my children are and that they are as safe as I can make them without them feeling shadowed by me.

You know what..... I am proud that I am a good mom and my reward comes from their comments and achievements every day. They are really good girls and I can say that I had a part in that. :)

I am so excited and looking forward to a summer full of movement and adventure. Chad and I are taking steps to make impromptu trips with the girls easy and effortless this summer.

I'm grateful that I have a partner who supports my need for alone time and time with friends without jealousy or resentment. These are things he looks at with excitement and joy for me because he knows these are the things that make me happy.

Yeah I don't have to work!!!! Only if I want to :)

I love having a job that pays me well and I can come and go as I please!!!! woohoo WVH!

Indiana red buds.... the waves of chartreuse and magenta make me happy.

My sister Tracie's courage at such a young age, she was and is so brave.

This whole glog thing because it makes me smile and feel good every evening before bed, what a wonderful end to my day. Thanks jones

The possibility that every new day holds. All of the natural wonders that are just sitting there waiting for us to explore them. Thanks for the idea Kevin.......my new map on my bedroom wall for me to mark the places I've been and the places I've yet to go before I die :) mmmm that makes me soooo happy

That Karen's sister has cleaned up her drugged history and is living a new life with her daughters here with the support and love of her family.

That spring makes everything feel clean and new, some how I always feel I can breathe deeper when spring begins.

I'm grateful for all the people making a difference every day, the quiet movements that sweep across society without some people even noticing them.

smile, you are loved
