Feeling Really Happy
Nov 2nd, 2007 by lisa
Why? I don’t really know. I have plenty of reasons to feel unhappy, and don’t we all? But I can’t help it. I feel really happy today.
Today is the first day I’ve not felt sick in over a month. Paul’s overtime stretch is finally finished, and while that means his paycheck will be reduced, it’ll be nice to have him home again. Last night was the first time we’ve enjoyed dinner together in weeks. It’s a simple thing, but it’s was so nice for us to be able to enjoy a meal together again. I’ve really been missing him.
The sun is shining, and the weather has finally started to cool off. I’m not a warm-weather person. I prefer fall and winter. (Yes, even living here in New England, I still love winter. Call me crazy if you like, you’re probably right.) That may be contributing to my improved mood. As I sit here writing, Siofra is curled up in her bed nearby sleeping happily in the sun. When I see these beautiful sunny flowers that Paul bought me last week, I can’t help but smile.
I know that as tough as things are, they could be worse, and I’m thankful they’re not. I know they will get better. It just takes time to sort things out. I know I am loved, and I feel love in my heart for others. Really what more can you ask of life?
For these reasons and more, I feel happy today. I’m thankful for that.
Admit it, you’d purr today if you could! What a wonderful way to spend a Friday and to begin the weekend. I hope you and Paul have nothing more planned for the next couple of days other than enjoying the glorious weather and one another’s company.
Gorgeous flowers! Here’s to lots more happiness.
