Hi ladies!
I started a thread in the section Positive Meno Experiences called "1000 Things That Make Us Happy". I have found that it is very empowering to write down the things that make me happy so I invite you to do the same. Please go to the post and list 10 things that make you happy. It will make you feel good.
PS My very competitive nature has now put me on a mission to reach the 1000!!

Hi "Shaking".....
this is a very good idea! ok, let's see ...
1. my family
2. the good health that I do still have, in general
3. writing
4. the ocean
5. flowers, i LOVE flowers
6. beautiful seagulls flying over the water
7. sailing
8. the sunset
9. my pets
10. a thunderstorm
now, the thing is I have a lot more things that make me happy ... but, I'm keeping to the 10. SHOULD I POST MORE?
if we really stop, and realize all we have , we'd see how really blessed we are! Just to take the next breath, makes me happy!
to give my kids a hug and kiss ...
to walk on the beach
to stand outside in the rain (and storms, and we get some really good ones here, I love to stand down on the beach during
a thunderstorm.....crazy, I know, I've always loved that)
to dance
to sing
to LAUGH!
to take long drives at night
to talk to God
to help people less fortunate than myself
to say "I love you" to some very special people in my life
to look through old family and friends photo albums from years gone by
STARBUCKS! ..lol
oh man, to many to mention really! Life is awesome, and once you've used this day, you don't get it again! So, I try to really LIVE each day, not just exist. Peri or no peri, life, is still awesome!!!!!!
