hoops day 024

Finally falling back in line with Leigh and the Happiness Project. The little feet I featured last week have been taking up a lot of my time here lately. Yesterday the sun and temps in the 60's found their way to my neighborhood. Even the animals were excited about it all. But with the sun and warm temperatures came my kids need to be outside. So with camera in hand and the oldest and youngest is tow we headed to town 5 miles away to shoot some hoops and for mommy to get some camera time … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving happiness moments with Leigh

2012 Thanksgiving 021_001

Thanksgiving, as you know if you read my last post, was a holiday I was dreading. Despite pulling it off, it did not go without the moments of lucidity when Mom's striking absence stood out like the white elephant in the room that no one wanted to talk about. My biggest moment came before the first guest arrived, in the midst of the cooking frenzy that is a holiday meal in this family. I lifted the lid on the roux for the giblet gravy and the aroma hit my nose like a memory in an instant. I … [Read more...]

Curious George AND Earth Movers?? Yes!!

I know I skipped posting here yesterday. In my defense I was recouping from a week of not having been out of my car or a vehicle of some sort for the entire week. Other than to sleep, or cook that is. So Sunday we were invited to a friend's son's birthday party. Bless his heart it was hot and sticky and he was overloaded with all the people. Gene had a migraine, Doug had a bad knee, and Tasha had a UTI with an attitude, add to my exhaustion we were not exactly great party people. We cut out … [Read more...]

Happiness project Learning to love our haters..

January 11, 2011 by Leave a Comment

(image obtained via photobucket ty)I know it is an odd thing for the Happiness Project huh. I mean we all hate to think someone hates us. We all fear not being liked. What if we turned that around? What would it look like? I know that Jesus allowed his hater Judas to kiss him in the end. He told him to go finish his betrayal to the High Priest and to do it quickly. Why would he do that? Cause he knew that without the help of his hater, his destiny could never be achieved. The hater was … [Read more...]
