Sharing Happy
Sharing Happy-
Yesterday was international happiness day. Isn’t it wonderful that there is a day celebrating happiness in every country in the world simultaneously. Sharing Happy who thought of that? I love it ♥ I will try and keep this from being a smushy mushy gush fest of joy and gratitude. There are so many things in my life that bring me happiness. I will spare you a mile long list and just mention a few. I think it is important to pause and appreciate all of the things that make us happy. I feel happiness and gratitude are two peas in a pod, they go hand in hand. 🙂
My Mother, she is the reason I am here
My husband, he is the keeper of my heart, my soul mate, my happy place
All of my beautiful family those of my blood and those that are not, all of them are family. Family is love and that is happiness
My friends old and new and my wonderful internet family and bloggy friends too
Hugs those from our grandchildren are filled with extra happiness
Our sweet Izzy, he brings happy with every tail wag
Love in all its forms, it is pure happy
My five senses (and the sixth one that I am only now mentioning and may not again)
My body and health although it is far from perfect
Our home, it is my favorite place to be
My mind and the ability to speak it
The beauty that surrounds me in various ways every day
Rainy days, I love the rain and the rainbows that often follow. I dare you to try and be unhappy when you see a rainbow
Grass under my bare feet
Sandy beaches and ocean breezes
Lunches with my daughter, they are happy memory makers
Music, there is a song in my heart and there is always a song in my life somewhere.
Technology for making it possible to share my happy with you
Books, movies and television shows yes they are part of my happy
Working from home, I am a great boss
Acts of kindness, happy flows over me when I participate or witness random acts of awesome
My ridiculous laugh, because it may be goofy but it is the way my happiness shouts
Most importantly God, I am a child of God and without him there would be no happy for me at all.
My Life, Every aspect of it, all of the extraordinary and all of the unremarkable it is where you will find my happiness
Now I could truly keep going and going and going…but you have your own happy to be grateful for and…
I hope you will share a few of the things that make you happy in the comments.
Thank you to all of my wonderful bloggy friends and family for your love, concern, prayers and support. I received my MRI results-, spondylolthesis, arthritis and two small cysts on my nerves in my lower back and hip. It may not sound like good news to you. But we were preparing ourselves for a much different outcome. As I sit here in the living room writing this list with my heating pad firmly pressed up against my back I can say “ I am happy”.♥
Enjoy your weekend my sweet bloggy friends and I truly hope it is filled with happy♥

“May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He let His grace shine upon you and be gracious to you; may the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-6:26 NIV
Katherine! this is wonderful news that even though the results are “painful” they could have been a much bigger worry. I will pray the pain gets better and the doctors get you on a good treatment course. Stay happy, and by the way I have actually heard your laugh….. you know when you put giggle in an email or post I have heard your sweet giggle in my head.
I can’t remember the last time that I wasn’t happy – staying positive keeps me going – onward and upward!
That is where your strength and your power is my friend . Staying positive is the door that opens our happy xo
Amen!
Back pain is no fun, but I’m glad it isn’t what you were fearing. I love your list – it makes ME smile:) As I sit in my kitchen on a chill morning, I am happy for a house with heat, the days getting longer, and coffee!
Thank you, I love your happy list items ♥
I’m so glad the news was not as bad as you were expecting! Right now, my new house makes me smile! My husband asked me what was the point of my perfume bottles that look like ladies, I told him it was because they made me smile when I look at them! 🙂
Lady perfume bottles! yes I love your happy things. Hugs
Your MRI results sound similar to my son’s, only they referred to his as a lesion, rather than a cyst.
🙁
Katherine, you are an inspiration to so may of us. So for this list, I put you at the top. You make me happy because of your continuing bloggy friendship, encouragement and genuine kindness to everyone. I send my prayers for your health to return soon. Carrie, A Mother’s Shadow
Carrie you sweet soul, what a lovely thing to read, helping others make me happy . Your comment goes on my happy list ♥
I so love your list, Katie. It was pure joy just reading down through and spending a few moments reflecting on the many areas that bring happy to my own life. I have one thing to add but I want a few minutes to think about and express it; unfortunately, I have to run due to an appointment. I’ll give me something to think about though — and that’s something that makes me happy :). So, until later….. <oh finding out you're relieved about the MRI also makes me happy … and will pray for God's wisdom (as He's the GREAT physician) for the medical team for your follow up care.) Hugs.
Thank you so much Marilyn for you bloggy friendship and I look forward to your happy list. God bless
Agree with your list!!! I have two bulging disc in csr accident so I know how you feel! But I am happy to be here!!!
Thank you I am happy you are here too Hugs!
Love this Katie…I think it is so important to think of our happy list every day!!
Thank you my sweet friend xo
hoola hooping and dancing make me happy.
oh sweetie, how wonderful! My sister teaches hula, it is a huge part of her laugh and makes her happy too xo
I’ve been prompted to get an mri for my back problems and think it’s time I do… I know what you mean about being happy about your outcome. Could always be worse. Big hugs and thanks for stopping by my blog Katherine! xo
Hi Nancy! I encourage you to get one. I am so sorry to learn you have back problems too. We were preparing ourselves for the word “tumor” and even though the outcome is not great it is one that can be worked with. I ray your outcome is one that can help you manage your pain. Big Hugs!
I think sharing Happiness is a wonderful idea and we need to do it more often.
It happens that today several of us bloggers are getting together to revisit OZ, a place that makes us happy. Please visit.
Thank you Laura I will stop by for a walk down the yellow brick road with you. hugs
Now this is a nice post to see first thing in the morning. I had no idea there was an international happiness day – one more thing to be happy about 🙂 And sorry to hear you’re having some medical issues. Hopefully they can fix ya up in a jiffy and alleviate some of that discomfort.
What am I happy for? Coffee in the morning. The smell of fresh baked bread. Creativity. Shade in the summer – fireplaces in the winter. And a million other things…but most importantly I’m happy for having my family and friends in my life.
Thanks for sharing the uplifting post 🙂
Trevor so happy to share with you.:-) Thank you for your bloggy friendship and for sharing some of the happy in your life with me too. Hugs!
