I'm happy to say I'm feeling very happy. Sitting outside. Loving the mild weather. The green grass, budding trees, singing birds. Work is over for the week. Caramel latte was delicious. Life is good.
I got the biggest smile and joy out of this. I was feeling horrible and just got to feeling better as I read this. You reminded me to be thankful for the good times. Don't you just want these moments to never end? I do.
Cheryl, I just finished my first "pysanky" egg tonight! (I put pysanky in quotes because mine is a sad wanna be pysanky egg...LOL) I finally got a minute to try it. I only dyed the egg one color, I just wanted to get familiar with the tools and how the melted wax would flow. I sort of goofed when I was taking the wax off...I got the egg over the top of the flame a bit and it made a dark mark on the egg. I'll post a pic of it on my blog soon! My first one is rather shaky and the pattern isn't even at all. I forgot to mark the egg off into quarters with a rubber band!! But I think I'm going to love doing this!
I have the perfect job for me. I choose to be a happy person. I have a 23
year old daughter, a mostly local family and some great friends. I live in a sun-filled home that I love. I love to learn. I'm easy to please. I'm not always what I seem.

Isn't spring awesome!!
Good that you can relax and enjoy!
Yes, the day was so mild and beautiful here as well. Finally, spring has sprung!
Isn't spring wonderful!! Enjoying it at the end of a work week and caramel latte truly makes life good. I'm so glad you're feeling better.
