What Brings you Joy?

I have this tune in my head and I can’t get it out.
It’s called “Thank God” by Foolish Things. It’s one of those tunes when you hear it, doesn’t leave for a couple days, I listened to it on my way to work this morning, and I think it was what I needed to hear.

I have had trouble stopping what I’m doing to Thank God for what I have. I have had trouble taking time out for him, praising him for the little and big things in life.
So, dance, and sing, and praise God for what you have.

“Thank God”
I thank God for all the good things in life
‘cause I’ve got my boys
And I’ve got my brisk tea
Oh yeah.
So many times I forget the joys
Those simple things he gave me

And thank God
The brothers that he gave me
Fill my heart with joy
And thank God
‘cause he has turned my rain clouds
Into sunny days

Thank God
I think all the purpose in life
‘cause I could write a song for all the problems with the women
And all things that could be but never will
But I don’t have time to write that many songs

And thank God
The brothers that he gave me
Fill my heart with joy
And thank God
‘cause he has turned my rain cloud
Into sunny days

And even though he takes me
Through the valley days
The under walksman learns
Thank God
It wasn’t all pain
No, no
It wasn’t all pain
Yea yea

Thank God
The brothers that he gave me
Fill my heart with joy
Thank god
‘cause he has turned my rain clouds into sunny days
Thank God
The brothers that he gave me fill my heart with joy
Thank God
I Thank God … for my home that is dry and warm
I Thank God… for my family near and far
I Thank God … for my “brothers”… sisters, and Friends
I Thank God… for the rainy days, which make the sunny days sunnier
I Thank God … for a husband that understands me and loves me unconditionally
I Thank God… for little things that bring me Joy like Halloween, ruby slippers, coffee and coworkers.
I Thank God … For Fridays!!!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

Thoughts of the American Pride Persuasion

I sat, mesmerized as I watched the “Breaking News” of the past 24 hours – Osama Bin Laden, Dead. What? I can’t really deny my mixed feelings about posting today. I don’t normally jump into the political rings but I can’t deny the HUGE news that swept our nation yesterday. So, this post has been thought out, a lot, typed really slowly, every word, intentional. Which is a huge leap from my normal ramblings of a Monday morning. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, the movie ended and Eric turned on the news, and we watched, in awe. Just like September 11 th , I’ll always remember where I was when I heard the news. I can’t say I was ready to strap on a flag superhero cape style, and run up and down the street chanting “USA… USA… USA” like hundreds and thousands of other Americans in DC and New York, but then again, I wasn’t near ground zero, in Pennsylvania or at the pentagon the day that Osama Bin Laden became a household name. The American in me wants to be happy and
