My husband is smart & more happy then Lil me can shake a stick at!

My husband always says two things that I try and remember and keep with me the first is "you know how to not be jealous of people and be completely content with what you have?  First you don't look at what they have or what you don't have.  Then You Realize not just What you have But what you are Blessed  with" and the second is "Happiness is a choice, just make yourself be happy don't let yourself get stupid and just don't pick nothin' else"

...smart man my husband, a very smart man

(at least when he's not making himself sick on an entire bag of marshmellows *ahem*)

Today I was flirtin real hard with that darn selfpity train again, feeling sorry for myself and just feeling like I was gonna explode and everything was miserable and needing a darn good cry.  But instead of that I'm gonna make a list of all the 'Happy' goin on in this life that I am Darn blessed to have!
