{Happiness is when...}

"Happiness is a choice. You can choose to be happy. There's going to be stress in life, but its your choice whether you let it affect you or not." -Valerie Bertinelli

I think often people focus too much on the negative things rather than the happy and positive things in their life. I know I'm guilty of it, but recently I have been choosing to be happy. To me happiness is when:

• Hitting all green lights on the way to my next destination
• Getting done with a good workout
•  Sleeping on clean sheets
• Coming home to clean house
• Coming home to my sweet husband and ornery cat
• The Holidays
• Making someone smile/laugh
• Eating Pizza Rolls
• Watching One Tree Hill
• Talking to my best friend on the phone
• Finding a new book you cant put down
• Candles
• Having a good relationship with my parents
• Having wonderful In-Laws
• Monkeys
• Good Music
• Finding jeans that fits perfectly
• Helping others out
• Having a day off with my husband

That's just the start. I could go on and on about what makes me happy. I'm very grateful for the life that I have and wouldn't change it for anything. Appreciate the little things in life and be thankful for what God has given us.
