When I was a child, my parents bought a copy of \u201cHappiness is a Warm Puppy\u201d by Charles Schultz. I read it often and thought about the various things he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of my favorites was \u201cHappiness is sixteen crayons\u201d. I understood that one from the get go. Eight crayons would allow you to draw but only to a point. Sixteen gave you a whole new pallet to work with and opened the possibilities further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This morning I woke up with Phoebe draped across me purring. It was very comforting and made me happy that my cat trusts me enough to take that perch. Thus, happiness is a warm kitten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday while I was at work, Caroline cleaned up the kitchen and loaded the dishwasher on her own initiative. Happiness is a clean kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each day Caroline and I take a walk just to get out of the house and clear our heads. Sometimes we talk very little and other times we have long rambling conversations. Happiness is a long walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did an art exchange with a bunch of friends. I did a paper puppet that I hope would make people smile and I received amazing art in many forms. Happiness is new art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I completed my first week on my new job. I learned a lot and did a lot. Time just flies by as we work as quickly as we can to get stock out on the shelves to sell. I received compliments from my immediate boss and the manager for picking up what I needed to do so fast. Happiness is a good job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today I am teaching sewing. I am enjoying imparting my years of learning to another person who wants to learn. I am learning how to teach what has become second nature to me. Happiness is passing on knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peter has always been supportive of what I wanted to do creatively. He has encouraged me to take risks and try new things that I might not have if he wasn\u2019t in my life. He sees my potential and wants me to rise to it. Happiness is knowing my husband believes in me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am grateful for all that makes me happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
