High Five

Spring is in full glorious bloom here in Georgia. The skies are crystalline blue. The grass and trees shout for joy in technicolor green. The dogwoods suspend clouds of white flowers everywhere you look and the azaleas are pop, pop POPPING orange, red and fuschia.

In a word...............spectacular!

And in my own personal ode to happiness, I offer up my top FIVE "make me happy til I want to wiggle, giggle and dance my way across the lawn barefoot and fancy free!"

ONE I work from home all day on Fridays...can I tell you how much I love not having to get up, get dressed, put on makeup, curl my hair, blahdablahda? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

TWO My folk arrive for the week-end. They love me and think I hung the moon. Make me laugh. Make me happy. Make my kids delirously happy. YAY bring on the GiGi and PopPop

THREE My new painted canvas rug arrives tomorrow. My girlfriend who makes and designs the rugs among other things has been working her tail off so I can have it in time for my folks arrival. I designed it, she tweaked it, she says it's stunning. I am giddy at the thought!

FOUR School has been so much easier for my oldest son this week. The whys and wherefores deserve their own post at a later date, but for now, my world is considerably less chaotic. I never knew this was how normal was supposed to be.

FIVE My lilacs are blooming. Big fat purple bundles of sublime scent and color.

What are your top FIVE current odes to happiness?

Pass it on!
