Some things that are making me happy these days:
***Looking forward to the sweetness of the holidays. It makes me happy that the materialism of this year will be dampened by the economy---we can focus on the important things.
***Spending time with my older girls as we get ready to start a new kind of relationship, and looking forward to seeing them build their very own lives.
***Three boxes of apples waiting to be made into sauce. I don't know why, but canning always makes me happy.
***Friends who encourage me and remind me that "I can do it!".
***A small pile of fabric ready to crafted into something lovely.
***The laughter in our house. It speaks louder to me than the contentions and frustrations of life.
