Default Happiness Is ...

Let's start the holiday season early! What are your "happiness moments" wls related or not.

For me, happiness is

- My family.

- Leaning back in my chair, looking down and seeing my belt buckle instead of my stomach!

- Seeing my friends like Donna (sdgrrl) and Janie (Lqqkn) overcome their complications and getting better!

Happiness is when my daughter crawls in bed with me to snuggle in the morning and yesterday my son came home from school and said Mom don't take anything out for diner. I am taking you out tonight. This is my 10yr. old! He has a paper route and with his first check took the family out to Hardees. He wanted to go to AppleBees but I told him that could be a little pricey. So my kids are my happiness.

Happiness is...

- Knowing that my life will begin to change tomorrow morning with my surgery.

- Knowing that I will be able to see my belt buckle again soon.

Default Happiness is...

...my family! First and always. My little brother, mom, dad, stepmom, stepdad, stepsisters, grandma, and many, many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

...my furry babies. Lan the cowkitty (white and black spotted), and River the spoiled babygirl (Tortie).
I love them so much that I'm going to try and figure out how to post a picture here. Not pictured are my mom's dogs that I have partial custody over -- Bell and Pepper.

...getting my life on track. I finally (as of February 2007) have a career that truly combines all of my skills and uses the law degree I worked so hard and paid through the nose for. I'm finally getting my weight under control. And I'm finally, finally getting a handle on my finances. Slooooowly it is all coming together. There is hope in all things!!!

Nice thread
