Happiness is…
Honestly, it’s a tough day and whole weekend to find happiness in.
Friday’s tragedy in Connecticut left me filling up with tears here and there, just randomly.
It left me squeezing my little girl tighter than ever ~ realizing that there’s parents out there that can’t squeeze their little ones….
There was also sickness – Miss G had a stomach bug of some kind that left us with little sleep and lots of clean up.
Gosh, it’s so hard when you’re left helpless watching a child suffer ~ again, tears.
Because I was actually *happy* that it was just a stomach bug and it will all be better soon…
So the weekend was rough, emotionally…
I feel like I got nothing done, oh and there’s so much to be done.
Oh wait, I did a whole recipe book! That’s a lot of happiness!
It’s been received very well, and I think I’m making others happy because of it too…
I am really bursting with happiness and gratitude and joy that things are alright here.
We dressed our Christmas tree,
we did a little bit of crafting, painting,
sewed a little gingerbread man cookie – and there’s an order for more ;)
It’s good to remember, that the secret to having it all is knowing you already do…

I found that it was tough to find a balance this weekend as well, since it was also an incredibly happy one for me. It’s amazing how happiness and grief can live side by side. And you are so right to remember that as we recover from the grief, there is still so much to be happy for…congrats on the book!!
Thank you Clair….
Wishing you a lovely week ahead ~ hope you’re resting already from school ;) xo
