Happiness has found me

I have been dwelling on things I do not like. The top 2 things: taking E to his test tomorrow, and being so tired all the time.

In spite of that, I have turned a corner today. I still want to get tomorrow over with, but I feel happier in general. I think it may be for these reasons.

• I look forward to seeing M when he wakes up from his nap.
  
• I laugh more than I used to. Especially during the pregnancy. I never realized how grouchy I was until I got de-pregoed. (Sheepish smile at M and R.)
  
• I snuggle E and don't even mind that he is approaching the 6 week peak of fussiness. I think his crying face is so adorable. Poor little man!
• I feel satisfaction getting laundry, dishes, cleaning, book-reading, and various chores done.
• I am walking more lately and not sore.
• M brings toys to E when E is crying.
• I am doing yoga and living more in the moment.
• I take time during the day to meditate and breathe.
• I love it when M says "I love you, too!"
• M says funny things on a regular basis.
• I talk to my sister on the phone and hear my funny nephew V talk about things.
• I enjoy, as always, talking to R at the end of the day.
• I feel freed from previous stresses. I have had the courage to let certain things go.
  
• Today has been rainy. This always puts me in a great mood. Weird?
• E stops crying sometimes when M talks to him.
  
• All the members of the family are on the mend from being sick last week. We are all much happier=I am happier.
• I am handling the cloth diapering like a pro if I do say so myself.
  
• I have good friends.
• I am reading good books: "Strangers in Paradox" and "Peace is Every Step"
• I have fun things planned this year: a few women's retreats, a trip to UT, a trip to CA. Hopefully we can swing all that :)

Today is a good day.
