I Am Happy!

WOW! That made me feel really great!
I recently had someone send me a message telling me that I was the happiest person they know.
I felt bad that I tried to be silly and responded with "I think you might need new friends." I should not have said that. (Sorry!)

I tend to mull over everything I say that is "wrong"... This tends to cause me to realize that I need to be better... a lot.

Realizations
I was mulling this one over, after I sent another message letting him know that I was just being silly... and realized that I am happy!

Awesomely blessed
I am very blessed. I have a fantastic job! I get to be a wife and a mother and be home with my family and have my awesome business that I am successful with and I am just over all content.

Talents?
I have never felt like a very talented person. I cannot draw well... although I drew a mean chalk elephant last night... I guess the more you draw with your children, the better you have to get if you want them to know what you are drawing for them. ;)

I know I am compassionate
I guess my talent might be that I am happy. Happiness that must come from compassion. The single thing that I know I am is compassionate.

Patience
I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt before I get irritated at them for something they might have done.

Good Music
I may be one of the 1% in the world who can drive somewhere and really only get upset when someone literally almost kills us. This upsets me all the more when my children are in the car. I can turn on a great song and the boys and I can dance ourselves through hours of stand still traffic. I hope they will always remember that.

Down with Road Rage
I am not a road-rage-er and feel no reason to drive like a crazed hurried person. I have a cell phone and can recognize when I might be late for something. As long as i call, it is my time that is effected more greatly than the people I gave a heads up to.

Correct me if I am wrong
Plus haven't they done studies on getting there in less time by following the main street/commute traffic flows, than those who drive fast and weave and bob through traffic...? Please correct me if I am wrong. I know I have heard it before.

Better safe than sorry when driving is concerned
It is better to be safe and keep other people safe than to think that I have to be somewhere in thirty seconds and know that that is impossible. Right? I feel good about that thought. Don't you?

Improvement Welcome
So I guess I am happy because I am compassionate and more patient than my husband gives me credit for... :) I have vastly improved over the years in the patience arena.

Patience is learned subtly
I am a cat person. You have to be patient with cats. Everything is on their time and according to what they want. :) Which brings me to my next thought...

Choice!
Isn't it fantastic that we have the ability to make a choice? No matter what anyone says to us. We ultimately can choose to do what we want to do. I chose to be a wife, mother, work at home, be happy, be compassionate, be patient, be loving and kind. I ultimately chose to be happy and content.

Change is good
I decided that I didn't' like the way any of us felt when I was a stress ball all of the time. I chose to stop being stressed out and keep things simple in my life. To have a general idea of what we would do each day.

I like it!
I chose that my sons rest was important and that I would work when they were sleeping. I chose to take a step back and recognize how I can grow when I say something I shouldn't have. I chose to be happy. :) And I like it.

So in recapping...
I: Can't draw, but improving. Compassionate. Patient. Content. Free to Choose. Happy.

I am blessed!
I have a life full of love. I am very blessed. I hope you will think about the simple little things that make your life a happy thing to be in and chose to be happy, while always improving.

Enjoy right now!
