5 Things That Make Me Happy

*Sleeping in!!!!
*Hearing my kids playing together.....laughing
*The sunshine of early morning or late evening
*Something truely romantic
*My house clean

Run Forrest Run!!!

I just keep running and running! I actually have a neighbor that finds humor in counting the laps I run around the neighborhood. As I pass his house he holds up fingers for the number of the lap I'm on. Trying to be good about what I snack on and when....I know that my bikini is very quickly going to be a wardrobe staple and I refuse to hide in a sarong all summer! It is killing me not to have the candy. Does that get any easier? I sure hope so. It has been two weeks since I broke down and had some black licorice on concert night. No candy in my purse... WHAT? It is so much easier to stop smoking or drinking. This sucks! In any situation in my life can I please have the gain without the pain!

Special Day

It seems like every year I get this vivid reminder of just how special you are to me. This little angel that we celebrate is my annual reminder. You were the one who dropped everthing and came to my side, you sat up with me all night, you are the one who prayed with me when I was afraid and crying and you were one of the first lucky ones to see this tiny little girl. I will never forget that in a time of fear and need you were at my side. You have been there through so much. I have never once doubted that you were a divine placement in my life. On this day I have the special reminder of just how precious that really is to me. I do think of it on other days throughout the year, but this day is a special reminder in so many ways. I love you!
