"Happy With Some Humor on the Side!!!

Since Friday is just about the BEST day of the week, (JUST ABOUT...I'm partial to Saturday and Sunday myself!) I want to focus on what makes me truly happy. I mean the little things we look forward to everyday, whatever they may be, that make us smile or giggle!
Its just like when you hear that really catchy tune on the radio and can't help but re-sing it ALL day long! Or when our children say something so funny...so adorable, we run out of the room and grab the journal or camera to capture the memory so we NEVER forget it!!! (C'mon, we have ALL done that one right?)

I'll give you one example of something that happened to me yesterday. I was in over my head with a really sick son, a broken air conditioner, and car brakes that were in such dire need of repair....that I couldn't even leave the house anymore! So, our air conditioning was fixed by 11am, Yay! (Its okay to be happy about something even though you payed a BIG price to have it fixed, isn't it?) And the brakes were done by 6pm, Yippee! (Again, I'm showing excitement even though the price for my happiness was several hundred dollars, LOL.)
In the midst of all these little things happening, my mom stopped by and brought lunch to me. I cannot tell you all how sincerely touched I was by that act of kindness. (And even now as I am typing this...I'm STILL smiling!)

After she left, I was able to sit down and eat some lunch while my son took the longest nap ever! (Just to let you all know...he woke up feeling much better, so that nap did him so much good.)
It was really nice to be able to have a moment to myself and have a little lunch. Okay, I did watch a few minutes of Days of Our Lives...one of my guilty pleasures I must admit! (giggle, giggle)
But there is one thing that makes me smile ALL the time and I do it...Well, I try to do it everyday! (Okay...it's not what your all thinking but I wish it was...We haven't been doing THAT everyday for some time! LOL)
It is looking at my old scrapbooks. These books I just adore and I try to get them out by myself and reminisce about old high school years or just great weddings that I've been to....and my son loves to search through his baby book and find old family members or pictures of when we were all a little younger and thinner! (Isn't that the truth?)
I thought I would share with you some pictures of my youth, the olden days of life WAY WAY back in the 80's...when the hair was big, the leg warmers were pink, and life was a little less complicated. "Like...Oh My God, Totally Awesome Right?"

Here I am with my Dad...who, as you can probably tell, LOVED to sit in the sun for hours and hours and didn't mind if I did either...(If we knew then what we know now right?)


This was my "sweet sixteen" Bday party. Well, I know I WAS sixteen in that picture, but I'm not exactly sure how 'sweet' I was....Just Kidding Mom! (I'm the Blondie with the big hair and my cousin is the cutie next to me.)

So...enjoy your day today, try to take a moment for yourself, remember to laugh (or giggle as I like to say), and always make time for those little things that make you happy!!
