Here I go, jumping on the bandwagon....and mostly just confusing myself :)
Heather over at Cool Zebras was inspired by a new blog called Operation Get Happy, where the blogger wrote a post called Simple Pleasures, that will become a series. All of which remind me alot of my previous Love It post (hence the confusion part...)
But the general idea is finding happiness in simple things. Easy enough, right? So, I am joining Heather & Tania in posting the little things that make me HAPPY today, and if I am lucky I will remember to do so every Sunday :)
First, the snow outside. It is so pretty today...
Sweet tea makes me happy.
My babysitter received some good news this weekend & it makes me very happy. Also, just having her in our lives makes me happy. She has been there for us SO many times, I sometimes feel like we owe her the world. Without her, we would not have the chance to get away together (or alone, for that matter) both of which are much needed & appreciated!
And I am happy that I am warm at home, in my jammie pants & furry socks...
I am also happy that the kids seem to be content today, playing nicely together. I love those kind of days. I hope that tomorrow is just as nice. But, if not, we rented movies to keep us all occupied :)
I am happy that my husband has been home more, even if it means he has no work. It has been VERY nice having him around to help out here. It amazes me how much I do everyday! When there is someone here to share the work - my days are SO much easier. (And before anyone thinks I have the best/helpful hubby ever - let me assure you, he does not usually help around here at all, but being here all day gives him no other choice!)
What makes you feel HAPPY today?
Today at church we had a memorial service for one of our founding members who died Thursday evening. Knowing that this man, who truly **loved God** like no one I've ever known, is now literally standing in God's presence and worshipping the Lord unhindered by flesh makes me happy for him. I have no doubt he fell to his knees in God's presence and heard the words "Well done, My good and faithful servant. Welcome home." No, someone dying does not usually make me happy - but the comfort of knowing he is in a better place and in the glory of God --- that is not "happiness" but JOY.

Thanks for playing Angi!
I have some comfy socks too that I just got for Christmas. I found some fun stripey ones too but Miss M took them for her own. That's another thing that makes me oddly happy... That my daughter can take my comfy socks from me.

I LOVE those socks. I have a thing for socks. I hate shoes, typically, but I love me some funky socks.
I just may have to play along on this one, too, but like you, I'll be lucky to remember to do it once a week.

For years, every month or so and more often usually, I write a happy post (http://aviewfromthesewer.typepad.com/a_view_from_the_sewer/2009/01/happy-things.html) or (http://aviewfromthesewer.typepad.com/a_view_from_the_sewer/2008/05/happy-things-an.html) or even (http://aviewfromthesewer.typepad.com/a_view_from_the_sewer/2008/08/happy-things.html). I have to say, these are my absolute favorites and they remind me of all the good things I have going on! Love this idea...
