In the spirit of counting my blessings, I have been pondering

I too count my blessings daily as there have been some tragedies near and dear to me....

My happiness all seems to come back to my family....in all the little every day things and even in the larger scope of my life to get me where I am today.....

Then of course there's the little things like enjoying my morning coffee in a peaceful quietness before the busy day begins....or watching the garden start to grow each spring...knowing if I want to be alone for a while my DH will watch the kids...it all seems to come back to family....

They are my source of happiness....but also of my frustrations at times! lol!

Oh gosh...my garden is a work in progress!...we got some free plants from my DH's coworker who was thinning out hers...mostly perennials, they are easier to care for! lol
we have tulips coming up now...
day lilies, asters, bee balm, flox, roses, hostas, snow on the mountain, cone flowers, sundrops and a few others I don't remember!...
I hope to get some planters for growing some veggies or spices this summer! yum!

I hope my tulips make it...it's been snowing on them!

Aw, that's very sweet.


BTW- I don't believe we've "talked" before- welcome!


So what do you do that makes your SO especially happy?

Wow, the garden sounds great! I love perennials too. Little bit of work, many years of pay-off. All the trees and flowers blooming right now are beautiful. Spring is a wonderful time of year.


BTW- don't mention that four-letter "S" word anymore- LOL. I am SO over the winter and its associated white precipitation. ;)

I make her priority #1 every day. And in return,she makes me priority #1. In my book that's a win win.

For me its my Family, they are the ones who are so important to me. I look at them and know they are mine with all their little flaws, all mine. I am so proud of them for what they do, who they are and how they make me feel.


I also have friends who makes me smile, they take my mind of what I may be doing, offer suppport, are caring, and know how to make me smile.


Happiness comes from within, you have to be happy with yourself, before others can make you happy.

There are lots of things that make me happy. There is my Master, of course. He is the number one reason of my happiness. There is my family, though sometimes they are a major pain in the butt. My cats make me happy, since I am one of those people who have to have animals in her life. Living in the South makes me happy, since I hate the cold, snow and ice of the North. Having my best friend, whom I have known for over 25 years, makes me happy. So does having my online friends. Writing and reading make me happy, as well as being surrounded by my books. Belly dancing makes me happy. Music makes me happy, as well as watching my DVDs. Doing simple things, like going to the zoo, makes me happy, as does going to the Carolina Renaissance Festival (in costume, of course) every October. Doing things like cooking, traveling and shopping make me happy. Having my connection with my Deities makes me happy.
