*GREAT NEWS* about My Happy List!

Tuesday, October 4, 2011

I am so happy that Mamarazzi from Dandelion Wishes has moved her My Happy List Linky Party to Tuesdays.  To celebrate the move, Mamarazzi is giving you a chance to win a $25 Target gift card if you link-up to her party.  I am hopeful more of you will participate now that the party has been moved because I know many of you do not blog on the weekends.

Got to *love* the new button!



This party means so much to me because it is important to focus on the positive, even though our world is in a terrible state.  We are all facing adversities and challenges right now, but we do not need a defeatist attitude. There is power in positive thinking!

My Happy List


1.   I am so proud of both of my children.  Both are working very hard in school, and both are creative.  Shelley has been working on some Manga pictures in our art studio.  This one is not quite finished, and I think she will be a vampire once she colors her eyes red.  I love it when my daughter creates in the studio!  It makes me so happy!

2.   I am either coming down with a cold, or I have caught my older daughter's strep throat.  But I am thankful I can stay home today and rest.  I am getting cozy on our sofa,

and reading a very good book today while drinking some hot (as I can stand it) tea.  Having a day to relax makes me very happy!

3.   I am doing a little bit of autumn/Halloween decorating today.  I will probably share the decorations with you on Thursday because I do not know if I will finish decorating today. Seasonal decorating always makes me happy!

What is making you happy today?  Will you join Mamarazzi and share your happy?  Will you support this linky party when you can?


Until next time...

Blessings!

    A day on the couch sounds great, but strep throat..I hope you don't have it. Today I am happy that after 2 hours in the Florida heat, crawling around tropical shrubbery and sweating, I have all of my landscape lights working again! Yea!

    I love this idea for a party. While I love decorating, recipes, etc, it's refreshing to discuss other ideas as well. I am all about being positive and I do believe that our intent influences our present and future. Count me in!

    Hugs,
    Susan and Bentley
