Happiness Project: day 28

Happiness is the way my yard looks and smells after a good rainstorm.

This project was for me to find little things to be happy about every day. I avoided the big things like faith, husband and kids because they're obvious. There was a small bout of depression in the middle of my project, but I worked through it and still tried to find even one tiny thing that brought me joy. It was theraputic. I would encourage anyone else to try this for 28 days and see what you find. There's more to be happy about than you might think.

Happiness is a good report from all three teachers on parent/teacher conference day. My kids are doing great in school and their teachers love them. Makes a Mom smile :)

** addendum to today's happy post: Grace's Kindergarten teacher did admit they've had a problem with markers, and they had to take one away just today because Grace was drawing dots on her arms. I KNEW it.

Today it was difficult to find something to be happy about since I cried myself to sleep last night, and I want to quit my project before it's completed. And yet I still found one small thing to be happy about today. Maybe tomorrow will be easier.
