happy day

Hello my sweet friends. I hope it’s a good day so far for you and that you had a great weekend. For me, I don’t know how the weekend zoomed by…. it came and went too quickly. It was filled with the art of doing nothing ~ which really means a bunch of little things in a laid-back style. Not bad, although I do now wish I had one more day to catch up with laundry and squeeze in a craft or do something with those books. Oh well, there’s always the Monday to do that ;)

And right now, I’m smiling and thinking that today is a happy day.

This is what’s making me happy today:

– just the three of us enjoying togetherness
– my daughter declaring she no longer wants to be a ninja when she grows up – but a superhero
– old friends dropping by ~ with a spontaneous play date for the little one
– having a movie night with my daughter ~ we watched Enchanted and ate homemade cookies
(daddy had a guy’s night out ~ but I’m not entirely happy about that ;)
– laughing that my beet cookies were loved by my girl
– having a great time making Sunday dinner with hubby
– great warm weather near the end of November
– seeing sparkling Christmas lights all around already
– unpacking boxes of ornaments and hearing the oohhs and ahhhs of admiration from Miss G.
– knowing that Christmas will be here very soon ;)

What is making you happy today?

I hope you’re having a happy day so far and I wish you a great happiness-filled week ahead….

And just because… this a beautiful version of this song for you….

…. yes, it’s by Michael Jackson singing You are My Sunshine. Sad and beautiful in every way… isn’t it?
