You Capture: Happiness

Photobucket

Normally, I’m a pretty happy person. I’m an optimist, I try to see the good in everyone, and I smile a lot. This week has been a tough week for me.
-I worked most of the day on Saturday, missing Noah’s soccer game, during which he scored a couple of goals.
-Monday afternoon, I scraped the side of a parked car while pulling into a parking spot at the grocery store. It’s been a lot of dealing with the insurance company since then. Thank goodness my cousin is my insurance agent and it’s easy to get things handled.
-Tuesday, I worked 11 hours. It was a crazy day at the hospital. I’m thinking it must have been an auspicious couple of days for surgery since 7 people decided to have joint replacements on Monday and 9 people decided to do it on Tuesday.
-Yesterday, I found out my friend down the street has an offer on their house which they’ve been trying to sell for a few months. That bums me out.

So it was a little difficult to work on the happiness theme for me. There is plenty of happiness in my world, it’s just been hard for me to see it lately. But this morning, I discovered some little bits of happiness.

Happiness is having two boys who are capable of getting themselves dressed in the morning.

Granted, their clothing choices may be questionable, but they do it themselves! (Caden wore that same outfit yesterday.)

Happiness is the pretty purple flower in my front garden that is holding on, despite fall being upon us.

Happiness is the multi-colored tree in my front yard, that seems to get prettier and prettier every day (but I’m having a hard time capturing it’s true beauty).

Happiness is a great fall day, playing out in the yard, driving the convertible.

And happiness is having these two boys in my life.

Kinda makes the bad stuff better, huh?

Head over to Beth’s to see more happiness.
