So, what are you happy about these days?

[princesss]

Happy to know that my personal emotional strength is limitless.

Happy to know I still have my Faith.

Happy to have some of the best friends in the Universe. Seriously. Most people can only dream of the friends I am surrounded by.

*hugs* - Not sure why, it just seems to me like you could use them.

I'm sohappy that our kitty seems to be recovering from his nearly fatal liver disease. We've had a few setbacks during his treatment, but for the most part, I think he's on the mend.

As well, I'm happy that we're having sunny warm/hot days here and that we have AC and a pool for the days when it's just too hot.

Our family is healthy and happy (as far as I know, anyway).

I have absolutely no preparation to do for the upcoming school year.

We have 'enough'.

 

[steph72276]

I'm happy that all my loved ones and myself are in good health.

I'm happy that I still look at my husband and get butterflies sometimes even after 10 years and 2 kids.

I'm happy that I have a nice, safe place to live and plenty of food to eat.

I'm happy that I have 2 amazing boys...one of which is getting ready to go off to kindergarten next week, and one who looks into my eyes and gives me sweet smiles and says "mama".

I'm happy that I've got a really close group of friends that would do anything for each other.

Thanks for this thread, it's important to remember how blessed we are sometimes.

 

[somethingshiny]

I'm ecstatic to have our new baby girl! She's so sweet and gorgeous. We're very happy that she's doing so well on her meds for her heart condition.

Also, we're excited for JT because he's learning to ride a bike.

And my sis is starting her Sr year of college!

 

[gemgirl]

I'm happy that we made it through the recession and that my husband has plenty of work now and we're OK financially.

As of yesterday, I'm happy that we decided together that I wouldn't have any type of radical surgery now for my pre-cancerous colon polyposis, but to go ahead with another polypectomy with a different surgeon than the one that almost killed me in June. It will be good to get this particular surgeon's opinion (since he's the Chief of Surgery at the biggest hospital where we live) and I'm resigned to the fact that if I have to have radical surgery down the road, I can face that knowing we did everything we could to treat this without jumping into something so permanent and somewhat deforming.

I hope I didn't dampen anyone spirits, it was just really hard to make this particular decision when doctors tell you that what you have can become cancer at any time.

 

[dragonfly411]

gemgirl - don't feel like you brought anyone down. You made a decision that will put your mind at ease, and might help you, and that is so important and it is something to be happy about.

I will keep you in my thoughts and hope for the best for you!

I'm happy that an awesome job opportunity is coming up. I'll give it my best shot even if it means moving to another state.

There are so many other things I'm happy for but I just wanted to say thank you for reminding me to think of them today.

I'm happy that I'm getting back into running after a 1.5 month hiatus & I'm feeling great/healthy/motivated

I'm happy to finally be in a grad program that is a perfect fit- I love my classmates, my area of study & am thrilled to be student teaching in a remarkable, progressive school (that gives me TONS of hope for our nation's future!)

I'm happy about our little home projects & making our new place feel like OURS... (and i'm secretly already happy about getting our first Christmas tree & other holiday decorations, even though we don't Celebrate the holiday )

Thank you Dragonfly. I have to say that little Lily's smile makes me happier than anything else at the moment and I'm going to be one sad Gailey this time next week when they are on their way back to the UK.

I'm happy my parents are generously paying my tuition so I even have the opportunity to attend this school.
I'm happy to be in Israel with my husband for his first trip here! (And I'm happy my father and stepmom took us along with them and are taking us all over the country this coming week!) And I'm so happy our flight landed safely. I hate flying.

I have so much more to add. Maybe I'll come back tomorrow night after our long day of touring to finish the list!

[Cehrabehra]

I think the heat is getting to all of us! I've had a hard time not complaining about lots of things this summer, mainly because of the stifling/oppressive heat with almost zero relief.

I am happy about all kinds of things. I just got engaged last month and we're starting to plan a wedding. We've been looking at houses, we saw two this week and we're seeing two tonight. We'll be on the lake on our realtor/friend's boat all day Sunday. The campaign S has been working on has been stellar recently due to total screw up on the part of the incumbent. His other projects are going fantastically. We both have stable jobs and our health. Lots of friends, tons of activities, life is just really good.

congratulations Monarch!!!! that's wonderful and exciting news!

 

[catwalk82]

I am happy that we adopted a new dog from the humane society! We now have two rescued dogs in the house and they are such great, obedient dogs! I am also happy that it is almost autumn (my favorite season) and that I am going to Aruba in March (right around the time that I will be wishing for sunshine!)

 

[iheartscience]

Now that it's official, I can post what I'm really happy about:

I GOT AN AWESOME NEW JOB! I start in a week and a half, which happens to be the day after my birthday. Happy birthday to me!
