~Something that you love-something that makes you happy~

Hi everyone, With so much stuff going on with all of us, I thought it may be a "pick me up" to put out a post about something that makes us happy or that we love-so that we can see blessings and maybe smile for a bit.....so-please share something that makes you happy or that you love-or heck-both!!

I absolutely LOVE when my 4 yr old wakes up-and how his little face looks and how snuggly he is in the morning when he first wakes up! Its one of my favorite things-and they grow so fast-its not gonna last long-so I cherish each day!!

I LOVE the little things he says and does-and how curious he is about everything and all his little questions! His little kitty died recently-and he so innocently asked his daddy to build an RC plane big enough for them to fly it to heaven-to pick up his little kitty-AWW!!!

I have so many blessings-but I love to see how my children are evolving-and how they are growing up. My daughter who just got married-well, I love to have them come over for dinner and just to hang out with them-

I love morning "coffee time" with my husband, and watching the morning news with him. Its quiet in the house and the best time for "us" to get our time together.

One last thing. I love coming on here in the mornings and reading all your posts and getting my post done on Jans Whats Happening thread. I make it a part of my day, no matter what. Its how I stay in touch with all of you that mean a lot to me, whether or not we have met face to face. I love you all and I pray for you and your situations, whether I have time to email you individually or not.

Have a good day everyone-and would love to see something that makes you smile or something you love-I know that we are all on the same journey-so we expect our WOW moments to be something you love-but please share something you love or makes you smile.....

Love to you all-have a wonderful day-Janet

Janet, what a great ideal I think this will be good for all of us. I have two 9 month old puppies that are like my children and they make me smile daily.  I love how they get so excited to see me when I come home they want to jump in my arms and lick my face because they love me and they are happy to see me.  I love to watch them play and chase one another it's very funny and relaxing especially if I am having a bad day.  Since I got my puppies for Christmas I haven't been as depressed as I used to be.  I feel like I have a reason to get up in the mornings now.   I love coming to this board and reading everyone's post.  I feel like I know all of you even though I have never met most of you.  This board keeps me motivated to continue on this long journey and I can always get answers to my questions by coming here.  I appreciate everyone of you that post this is a great community.  

The thing that makes me smile the most is my grandsons. No matter how bad I feel or what kind of a day I'm having, the minute I see thier faces it all goes away. I love them and my son so much, they are the light of my life.  I also love my husband's laugh. Whenever I hear him laugh it makes me smile. We've been together for 22yrs. and He still makes me laugh. And as the others have said,OH makes me smile and happy. I feel there is so much love and concern for people on here that you just have to feel good about coming here. There are some sad stories but for the most part it is a very good part of my day when I'm on here. So everyone take care and SMILE, Tammy

LOL Janet...you asked for it!! My husband, David for the way he loves me and says "Hello Beautiful" even on my worst days! The way he holds me and protects me until all "the uglies' go away! For seeing all the little things in me that make him smile. For making me feel that I am loved more than any other woman in the world! For all the little things he has done over our 25 years just to make me smile! The flowers, cards, love letters and even the lil love notes that he leaves for me, here and there just so they brighten my day! The way he loves my children and grandchildren as his own! They way he gets mad at my dogs and says he can't stand them but he will buy the biggest, fluffiest bed for them to sleep in, give them treats when he thinks I'm not looking, cleans up a mess they made before he thinks I found it and fills the holes they dig just so I don't get hurt. The way he can get my granddaughter to giggle and makes my grandson feel like he is the only child in the world that gets to ride on that back of his grandpa's Harley! The way he loves to hear me laugh and that he loves my smile even when I don't have my teeth in. The way he says, it's okay when I go over on the grocery budget just so I can see a grandchild smile. There is soooo much more but I will leave the rest for another day. I love the Lord for the miracles he's made in all of us! For letting us see the little gifts that He has given us....like birds, flowers, rainbows, waterfalls, babies - animal and human, for the beautiful landscapes and waters that cover this earth that He has given us to live on! For the clouds that he shapes into different things just so we can broaden our imaginations! For allowing us to see the good side of bad things, for the ability to love, laugh, show and feel compasssion, to see, hear, speak, feel, walk, touch...you get the idea! For the answered prayers and being able to see His miracles! For filling my heart so full of love, there's room for nothing else! For everything! All praise to you, my Lord! My grandchildren, the way they make me laugh...sometimes til it hurts! By loving me like only grandchildren can! For bringing me dandelions and thinking they are the most beautiful flower in the world! For bringing me a frog or lizard to see because they want to share and think that I really want to see it! For everything they do that's a first and sometimes for things they do a second time that was cuter than the first!  My daughter for her beauty! For the way she hates that she's becoming more like me everyday! For trusting me the way she does, with all her deepest, darkest secrets! For showing me that she is trying to do something with her life in the mist of hard times! For showing me that she IS the strong, intelligent, independent woman that she was raised to be! For allowing me to help her give birth to her children and allowing me to see my grandchildren take their first breaths! For being my best friend during the good times as well as the bad! I pray your daughter and you share the same bond! For my stepson Roy, whom I have raised as my own since he was 18 months old. For running to me during thunder storms that had your little heart beating so terribly fast and your tears flowing like the rain. For allowing me to be part of your life and allowing us to bond so tightly that the Lord gave us both a new birthmark to share. For the emotional roller coaster rides that we have been on a few times that made us stronger than before! For being a klutz on more than one occasion that made me laugh so hard I couldn't breath! For bringing me snakes to see, lizards to examine, baby bunnies to raise and several of God's creatures just so I could learn! The dead mouse, I could of done without....lol For having such a tender heart and allowing me to help heal it! For loving me and allowing me to become your Mom! Thank you for being my son! For my baby, Jason...whom drove me crazy, his first two years of life because he was a screamer, if he wasn't being fed or asleep he would be screaming and he did this from the time he was 2 hours old until he started walking at age 2 years! All the doctors could do is say that there is nothing wrong with him, he will just keep doing this until he starts walking and can get around, doing things for himself and then told me...good luck! For my best friend, Lynette who came to my rescue and would take Jason, giving me time to regain! For Jason's smile, contagious laugh and humor. For locking horns with me over the years, showing me how hard I can be to live with because he is just like me! For loving me with ALL his heart! For keeping me on my toes when he was young and on my knees when he grew up! For my dogs....for Sam that is no longer with me! Her beauty made me just love to watch her prance, dance and run like the wind! For saving my life! For making me laugh! For being my best friend in the good times and bad and for always knowing when I needed a friend! For never allowing your spirit to be broke! For thinking you were a lap dog that needed to crawl up on me when I was laying down, keeping me safe and warm! For Gracee... the way she jumps and dances when she gets excited! For loving the harley so much that she jumps 6 feet up, straight up again and again every time it gets started! For chasing the ball even if you weren't in the mood! For keeping us safe and alerted when we needed to be! For Jake...the clown that he is! For when you think your creeping up on us and that we can't see you...you are BIG!...we can always see you but it makes us smile! For your sad faces that tell me you love me and care when I'm sad! For never letting me go too long without laughing! For going all out when I throw a ball whether it be on ground or in the ponds! For thinking your human and that you should be treated like one of the kids and never really understanding why you don't! For being so big and strong yet so gentle with me and the grandbabies! For keeping us safe and on alert when we need to be! For my best friend of 18 years, Lynette! For all the crazy things we did together that thank God, no one else knows about!....lol For the years of friendship in the good times and bad! For taking Jason when I was ready to throw him out the window!...lol For protecting me when my life was in danger putting your own life in danger to do so and for depending on me when you were in the same situation! I'm sorry God took you home early but I thank Him for allowing me the time I had with you! For all my friends on here....for their love, support, prayers, laughs and tears! For putting me in my place when needed and allowing me to correct them when they needed help as well! Thank you for not hating me for my mistakes but praying for me instead! For the gifts you have given me physically as well as mentally, emotionally and spiritually! Thank you for lending me a hand when I would fall into the pit of depression or self pity and pushing me when I needed a knug! For holding me up and keeping me strong! I love you all! Love & Prayers, Deb M

I love being woke up by my hubby of 22 yrs as he comes in from work. I love our quiet times in the pool with no kids jumping or splashing. I love watching how my daughter is turning out. growing up much to fast for this momma I love the way my 2 yr old granddaughter calls me nannie and her smile which lights up the room and my day. I look forward to the new baby comming in Feb. and all that comes with new babies like their smell and their smiles and snugs. Im proud of my son who is serving as an Embassy gaurd in Africa...so grown up but still calls home with total kid excitement when we send a package from home. I am proud of my middle child Jason who is a good daddy to the Pixinator...now if he could get the providing part down!  Im so grateful to Dr.Baker for giving me a 2nd chance to get to have more of everything with my family! I also am thankful for finding my hobby 4 yrs ago and the new lease on life it gave me during a very  bad time in my life.  Miniatures and building dollhouses. I belong to the Greenleaf dollhouse forum which has been a blessing as well as this forum where I have made some new friends and enjoy the "visits"    it is good to be positive...sometimes we forget to be so with all of our day to day BS going on. Have a great day yall! nutti

 

Absolutely cannot add anything to the great stuff you've all mentioned.  I think Grandchildren are God's way of repaying us for not murdering our kids when they were little monsters!!!  My DGS and DD are the loves of my life and DH is one of the best things God ever gave me.  Love them all and love all of you for your wonderful sharing.  So good to focus on the goodness in our lives. Hugs, Lana

Hello everyone, and no doubt it is unanimous it's my grandchildren. They fill me with so much love.  And their love is truly unconditional.  They waythey argue over who can sleep/sit next to me.  And how they think I'm their rescue from their parents when in trouble.    I love to here Jordan my 5yo grandson say granne and you're welcome, after you thank him. And watch him dance (he is so into it).   I love to see Jaylen my 1st grandson who has nooo rhythm try to dance. I also love to just look at him and my heart  fills.   I love the Lord who truly 1st loved me,and I love his Grace.  For if it had been me, I would have gave up on me a long time ago(fickle).    I love the fact that I found this website.  B/C I truly see it as God sent and a opportunity for myself and others to be open, honest and deal with the issue of being obese.   I could go on and on about the things and people  I love.  Wishing and praying that everyone achieves their hearts desire.

Howdy Yall.... Wanted to take a sec to jump on and share the things I love and that make me happy!! I LOVE MY KIDS!!!! LOVE EM ALL A BUNCH...BUT APPLE OF MY EYE IS PRINCESS CHRISTA....MY BEAUTIFUL GRAND- DAUGHTER!!! Things havne't always been happy or perfect in my life but I thank God for all the happy moments that I have had...I have soooo many special memories I am able to look back on and that really makes me happy.... Being a mother and a Nannie is the highlights of my life....I think back on the birth of my daugher & my son often....And it was very happy and exciting time to be able to be in with my daughter when my first grand baby was born....My children have touched me in so many ways but to watch my first born give birth to her own child filled me with so many feelings that I can't even find words to describe it!!! There are many things that make me happy that include all my family members and many of my friends but the most special memories all have to do with my kids!!!!  I will quit with the little I have said already because if I really get started on things with my kids that make me happy or feel blessed I will take up so much room that no one else will have room to post lol lol.... Before I do close I would like to say...Thank God for my Children and all the happiness and wonderful memories they have given me!!! Tammy H.
