Being Healthy Makes Me Very Happy!

I know that I have written about this before but it really is what I am thankful for at this moment.  For more than a week I have had a health issue.  Actually 2 issues.  The first one was in my mouth and caused me to get big canker type sores in my mouth on one side.  In fact my lips swelled up so much on that side that it was really hard to talk.  (It did provide entertainment for my family every time I tried to talk.  It's good that we all have a sense of humor!)  Then I began to get pimple like bumps all over my chin and up my cheek, ear and even into my hairline on the same side as my mouth issues.  The bumps turned big and then scabbed.  So right now I still have a sensitive mouth and scabs on my chin and lower right cheek.  I am taking 9 pills a day! An antiviral for my mouth every three hours and a antibiotic for my face three times a day.   Happily though I no longer have a fever and my mouth isn't in constant pain.  Luckily too, it has been our spring break so I have had work off.  Besides not really feeling 100% yet, I look pretty bad.  And if there is one thing that little kids do not have it is tact.  We don't go back to school until Tuesday and I am cautiously optimistic that I will be looking better by then.  But I also realize that there is a good chance that I won't.  In which case I will be on the phone looking for a substitute.  Either way I will not forget for a very long time how happy being healthy makes me!

Christmas Lights Make Me Happy

I don't know what it is about lights that I love so much.  I just know that I love them!  I love driving around and looking at them.  I just smile when I see a house and yard filled with lights.  I will travel distances to go see a large display of lights.  I live in Utah and so we often travel to see the Christmas lights at Temple Square in Salt Lake City.  Today my husband and I finally got up most of the lights on our porch.  He hung snowflake lights along the top of our porch and they look great.  We were watching a movie together as a family tonight and our couch faces our porch.  I kept finding myself watching the snowflake lights instead of the movie!  It was even a movie that I really liked!  I really do love lights.  They really do make me happy!

I Am Happy When I Do Something Right

Okay I'm not saying that I don't do the right thing very often.  I'm just saying that when I do something out of the ordinary for me and it turns out right, it is great.  About a week ago I wrote about going and visiting a cute girl who had been hurt in an accident and taking her some "sunshine."  Today her cute mom came to drop off some cookies and a note from her daughter.  It was so sweet.  They are both amazing women who I admire a lot and hope to be more like someday!  Her mom said that her daughter had been having a hard day that day and that the gift I brought was perfect because she needed some "sunshine" in her life at that moment.  I was SO happy that I had taken it to her.  I love doing things for others.  It makes me happy.  (And that will go in the book too!)

A Clean House Makes Me Happy

So with so much going on this past week (or so.....) our house has become a mess.  So today everyone helped and our house looks SO much better!  I love it!  When I said that everyone helped I do mean everyone at home helped.  That includes my husband.  He actually does a great job and will clean anytime he sees something that needs to be done.  It is so nice that he just pitches in.  With all of the help it didn't take that long.  Kids cleaned their rooms and helped with other extra chores and my husband and I tackled the bigger jobs.  Now my house still has rooms that could use a really deep cleaning (the bathroom tub for instance.)  But today was just about doing the surface things so it looked really nice.  It makes me so happy!  Now I'll do the really good cleaning room by room throughout this next week.  One room a day.  Awesome!
