What Makes You Happy?

I have been wanting to do this now for an entire week, maybe two. Make a list of everything I love. Here I am. I stumbled on Elephant Journal while nosing around for other stuff, like looking up old friends on Facebook, trying to find someone to help me with my business paperwork, you know the usual highs and lows of a busy life. My my eight-year-old puppy, Maggie sleeps at my feet. Does she know a good thing or not?

One of my morning projects that put me on this path of ‘what do I love?’ is yet another project. Making a collage board. Yikes the shoe boxes full of SORTED pictures that I love. I even decided that I have so much to love, I could make themed Vision Boards. The next thought that just popped into my busy mind was…ahhh it slipped away. Let’s hope it finds it way back.

So I’m sorting picture by picture which makes me ask ‘What do I love?’ and the automatic next one “Who Do I Love?”  I came across a picture from three (3) lifetimes ago. There we are five smiling women, melded on a Mall bench. I realize the scary wonderful thought that these beautiful women are as old, ancient, young and happy as I am! I’m sending my love to each of them, from my heart and mind to theirs. Karen, Barbara, Carol and Sally. God Bless You. May sunny skies keep you happy and rainy days keep you appreciative off the amazing cycles of life.

We all have that sweet-silly-camera-smile we use for these auspicious occasions. SMILE!

Such a tiny little thing, a smile. But it usually reflects a wealth, or an appreciation of how valuable these huge moments and wonderful relationships are. Even over time with no contact in between, the persons we were before we were a fivesome and the  persons we have become, are forever seared, molded, affected by these amazing friends.

Thank you. xoxo Lynda
