I subscribe to Barbara Muir's newsletter/blog. I can't remember how I found her. She is a delightful, upbeat person. You can check out her painting and writing here /http://www.barbaramuirpaints.com/
Yesterday, she posted 10 reasons to be happy. It made me think about things I'm happy about.
1. I can see Georgie learning and it's a thrill to watch him.
2. I'm almost finished with my drawing for a full sheet watercolor and I already did a test run in my watercolor notebook.
3. The cats are sitting by me purring.
4. My mom, my friend Lori, Jim and I are going to see Lena Prima at the Smith Center Thursday night.
5. Following Barbara and her husband's lead, Jim and I just went for a walk with Georgie. It's 74 degrees and sunny. What's not to be happy about?
6. Jim and I enjoy talking and walking and just spending time together.
7. My sisters and I think it's hilarious that Jim is Mom's favorite child. He's also our stepmother's favorite:)
8. I'm going to have lunch with Lori, the horse rescuer, tomorrow.
9. I cleaned half of the house yesterday, so tomorrow will be a breeze.
10. I found another artist whose work I fell in love with http://www.marciaburtt.com/art/.

Hi, Debbie! Thank you for stopping by! I'm glad you enjoyed the post!
It's good to be reminded that being happy takes effort (not really work, but some focus and effort to go in that direction instead of another) and we can do it easily if we put our minds to it. Thanks for sharing!!
