Weekly writing assignment from Mama Kat: I’ll be happy when…
You know what? Scratch that. Why do we always say that? “I’ll be happy when…” Or, “I’d be happy if…” Why can’t we just be happy now? That’s my philosophy today.
You know what? Scratch that. Why do we always say that? “I’ll be happy when…” Or, “I’d be happy if…” Why can’t we just be happy now? That’s my philosophy today.
We should all quit waiting for something or someone to make us happy.
So today, I am happy because:
We have a three-day weekend and I’ll be in Birmingham with my friends and family for the Fourth of July.
I have the first two disks of True Blood: Season One waiting on me at home for my viewing pleasure.
It’s summertime and I’m planning on hitting the pool at some point this weekend for some much needed sunshine.
I know that even though he’s over an hour away, I have someone who loves me and has my back no matter what.
I have an amazing family vacation just around the corner and will get to see some incredible, awe inspiring views.
OH MY GOSH – TIME OUT! I just realized that I never told y’all the best news! My stepmom is a kidney match for my dad! They found out a few weeks ago. I can’t believe I didn’t blog about that already. What’s wrong with me? He won’t have the transplant for awhile, but it’s such a relief to know that he has a match and won’t have to go on the donor list. I literally danced a little jig the day they called to tell me.

So yeah – as you can see, I have plenty to be happy about today And most everyday for that matter.
