Hola!
I have been a little distracted lately. (Reality: I am the most distracted person I know.) I like to have a small semblance of control in my life (reality: Control Freak to the nth degree), but occasionally I find that there are a few things that are beyond the range of my control (reality: everything that happens from sun UP to sun DOWN…).
Given my state of mind lately, I have chosen to post a “Happiness Is” blog. Do yo
u remember those 2 little naked people in the comics, who told us what Happiness Is...? Or maybe it was “Love is…” At any rate, this is a Count Your Blessings blog.
Happiness is…strawberries! It is strawberry season, and they are just delightful.
Happiness is…tortillas. I really could live on flour tortillas. (Even before we went to Mexico, they were one of my favorite foods.)
Happiness is…sleeping until your eyes open by themselves in the morning. If you didn’t set an alarm, and nobody woke you up, that…is heaven.
Happiness is…a hug. A heartfelt hug can brighten the dreariest day.
Happiness is…computers! No, really, when they work correctly, I get a lot of joy from email, editing and creating with photos, and more.
Happines
s is…an unexpected call from an old friend.
Happiness is…no cavities!
I am also grateful for doctors, who have dedicated their lives to making life better for the rest of us.
I am grateful for forgiving friends, who may get a stressed response from me but later…they are still my friend.
I am grateful for teeth, transportation, and grocery stores. I am thankful for microwave ovens and
that some people are so talented, they can hear a song in their heads and write it into beautiful ballads, concertos, musicals and operas, so the rest of us can enjoy the music. We are very blessed. Of course this only scratches the surface, but even this short entry has made me feel better!

Happiness really is computers! Especially since mine is in the shop. It has to do with teenagers, hacking and crashing - need I say more???? Happiness is having a computer at work......
Thanks for the reality check - happiness really does come in many forms!
Oh happiness is strawberries!! They are like candy this time of year.
You? Distracted? Please don't crush my image of "The Woman Who Gets Everything Done...And Then Some."
