The road to happiness
Deacon John said there are three things to bring happiness: 1) someone to love, 2) something to do, and 3) something to look forward to. In order of importance, I list what I am grateful for:
1) I came home last night to a clean and warm house courtesy of my gf who waited for me enthusiastically by the front door with open arms. There was also a little boy waiting for me who is my son – a true gift from the cosmos, bar none. I spent the better part of the last two days shouting out to the world that I was born to be a mom and I’m so glad Tin gave me this opportunity.
2) I have been blessed with a job I love – I’ve heard people say this all their lives, but you don’t know what that means till you are living the dream. I work with the smartest and funnest people around. Yay!
3) We are going back to Spain to see our friends from last summer and to continue to make family vacation memories – so looking forward to this I could spit. And I also planned a trip with a friend, we’re going on a cruise! Who would have thought either of us would go on a cruise, but we’re doing it because it was too cheap to pass up. Then of course there is the myriad events here at home that I look forward to: Mardi Gras, French Quarter Fest, Tennessee Williams Fest, Jazz Fest, Bayou Boogaloo, and even going to see Meschiya Lake at the Ogden tonight or trying to catch the Stooges Brass Band marching with Lady Jetsetters this Saturday. Wow do I have stuff to look forward to – my cup runneth over.
