I've been thinking about happiness lately. What makes you happy? Whatever it is, I think you should add more of it to your life. I have been asking myself what makes me truly happy. My family for sure - my husband and my kids. They bring me true joy. I love going places with them. Watching my kids experience things for the first time is so exciting.
My home also makes me happy. I love it. It is just what I always wanted in a home. We live a great neighborhood with sidewalks and street lamps. I know it sounds odd, but I lived in such a rural area as a child, this was always a dream of mine. I also love that my house is old. It was built in 1945 - it has history. Others loved this house before I did. I often think about the woman that had this house built. What did she love most about it? Is she happy to see our family in it now? I love the details she added, little cubbies and great tile.
Sometimes that just needs to be enough. I find myself always looking for more. I always feel like I should be doing more, going more, making more money. More, more, more. Today I don't need more. Everything is great just like it is.

Great thoughts...I think you are right sometimes when we slow down we realize happiness is just in the small everyday things.
I would love to see your old house. I love old homes. How fun to enjoy that. Sometimes we just need to be happy with waht we have. Thanks for the reminder.
