One thing that stands out in my mind when I think of really happy moments is when I've been able to see my three kids play together on the beach. It makes me super happy whenever they play together, but there is something about it being on the beach that makes my heart swell up and almost explode out of my chest. That is one of those moments that says this is what life is all about.
Another thing I have recently discovered that makes me super happy is having all three kids home at once. With one at college and having to share the other two with their father this is a rare occasion. It happened this weekend and although we didn't do anything huge together, it just felt right and so wonderful to have them all under the same roof.
One thing that I love to do and really ups the happy meter is hanging out with friends. I love either going out to lunch or dinner or having a game night with a friend or group of friends that I really enjoy spending time with. I haven't gotten to do this very much in the past but I really look forward to having friends that both my husband and I like and spending time with them. I already really enjoy spending time with my husband's friends in Florida. Even though I have not spent very much time with them, they instantly felt like family. They were so welcoming of me and I genuinely like all of them. It's one of the things that made me know without a doubt that my husband was the right man for me. I really liked the people he had surrounded himself with and I think that says a lot about a person. I miss them terribly and cannot wait to see them again.
Another thing that makes my heart sing is my husband. He can do the smallest thing and my heart just wants to burst with happiness. I cannot believe how much I love him and how happy I am simply because he is a part of my life. It makes such a difference to be number one in your spouse's life. I have never had that before and had no idea what I was missing. But to know that I am the most import human being to my spouse is an incredible feeling. One that I am grateful for each and every day. I really look forward to growing old with him.
There are many other things that make me happy, but the last one I will touch on is my belief in God. It is so incredible to know without a doubt that there is a superior being out there that loves me and knows me by name. Who answers my prayers even when I don't feel like I am worth it. It makes me really happy to know that this life is just a short blip in eternity. And I'll bet the times I have felt the utmost happiness here on earth will not compare to an average day in heaven.
I am a very blessed and lucky woman to have so much in my life that makes me really and truly happy. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of trials in my life, but they are just trials, they always pass and they make me even more aware of the incredible blessings and happiness I have.
