My Good Things List

American writer, E. B. White (of Charlotte's Web fame), once said, "I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world.  This makes it hard to plan the day."

Isn't that terrific?!

Lately, I have been making more of an effort to "enjoy the world."  I've been looking for the joy in my life; acknowledging to the heavens that I am blessed with good and wondrous things.  All of us have good things in our lives, and the good things make us happy.

Though life can be challenging and painful, it can be beautiful too.  And as a truly extraordinary man once said, "Happiness is the object and design of our existence..."  It's a big part of who we are and why we are here.  We are meant to be happy.    We are joy! 

I've decided to more fully enjoy my little corner of the world by recognizing and appreciating "the good things" in it.  Here's what made me happy this week; my good things:

--Singing Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" with McHubby, totally impromptu and off key.  (It wasn't pretty!)

--Having my hair colored the day after I discovered six white hairs atop my head.  (SIX honest-to-goodness old lady hairs, people!!  Eek!)
--Emails from Aussies and cool chicks in Phoenixville, PA.
--Pepsi Max, on the rocks, with a slice of lime.
--Talking on the phone with my cutie pie brother, Tyler, on his birthday.

--My new Halloween candy bowl, with vintage "horror flick" posters printed on it.  (AWESOME!)
--Dancing to Maroon 5's, "Moves Like Jagger," in my kitchen...and making Cam laugh while doing it!
--Lots of hugs and kisses from the McKiddos.  

What about you?  What made your "good things list" this week?

(Remember to enjoy the world, lovely people, wherever you are!)
