Happiness is ...

At this moment I am happy . I am not perfect . My kids aren't , either . And neither is my husband . But I am actively seeking joy . It may sound a bit Pollyanna , but when you are looking for reasons to be happy more keep coming. 

I have struggled with this . But now , a good spelling test score or a word of kindness from my kids is reason to party- a good workout , a great evening conversation with Bryce , these are the things I am choosing to get excited about . Did the workout make me instantly think ? No . One kind moment between my girls mean they won't argue over who showers first tonight - nope . But it's a step in the right direction !
