Fill In the Blank Friday


My most prized possession is:
The heart necklace I have of my dad's thumbprint. My mom, sister and I each got one when my father passed away in August.  Everyday I wear it I feel close to him. 

If I could be one age for the rest of my life, I would want to be:
In my 20s! I work with young kids every day, and as much as I love it (and I feel they keep me young) the 20s are such a fun time.  I'm loving being in my 20s. :) 

The best way to spend the weekend is:
with family and friends.  One thing I've learned over the past few years is that it doesn't matter where you are, or what you're doing, but who you're with that matters the most.  Whenever I'm with my family and friends I always have a good time, not matter what we're doing.  

My outlook on life is:
"life's too short to be anything but happy"

If you want to annoy me, just:
complain. 
I dislike when people constantly complain but don't try to do one thing to change whatever is bothering them. 
Be the change that you want to see in the world. -Gandhi   

 
I am completely defenseless when it come to:
 reality TV.  No matter how hard I try not to watch it I always get sucked in.  Jersey Shore, The Real Housewives , American Idol, DWTS...the list can go on and on.

When dressing for the day one should:
dress their best!  one of my favorite quotes is: 
"I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny." Coco Chanel

Happy Weekend!!

Words to Live by...

The Meaning of Life


The meaning of life? 
That's easy. The meaning of life is to be happy, try not to hurt other people and hope that you fall in love. (unknown)

Happy List



I woke up this morning to snow covering the ground and a call telling me that all schools were closed. Usually I'd be excited about a snow day, but not today.  We've used up our allotted calamity days and now have to make up this snow day {and beside I want Spring, not more winter!}  Then I turned on my TV and saw we got the lesser of 3 evils.   Earthquakes and Tsunamis?!  I'd take the snow over those.  So to help me get through this snowy, less then perfect day... a Happy List. :)

What's been making me Happy...

* the thought of 50 degree weather in a few days... goodbye snow, hello spring!

* fresh flowers {like the daisy's above} I look forward to flowers blooming again.

* hanging out with my cousins, telling stories and laughing at all the trouble we got into as kids.

* buying tickets for summer concerts!  it's gonna be a good summer.

* goodnight texts from a special someone

* visiting friends and celebrating St. Patrick's day this weekend

*  seeing the excitement when one of my students finally learned how to tie his shoes...it really is the simple things in life that bring happiness. :)


what's making you happy?

Please share your Happy Lists!  
even if you've sent one in before, there's always new things making us happy every day :)

send lists to : enjoyyourselfblog@gmail.com

p.s. Praying for all of those affected by the earthquakes and tsunamis today {especially my family and friends on the west coast}
