Happiness is...

....Completely forgetting you put a book on the library reserve list months ago (way before the Kindle came into my life); getting the notice that it is available and finding out the day it is due back at the library is when you get back into town.  Hello new book to bring on trip!

....Going to Kohl's and feeling like the amount due of $116 is an amazing deal and then finding out that $116 is what you SAVED and the total due is only $56.!

....Hearing the test result's from a good friend's breast cancer surgery and finding out all 18 lymph nodes they took out came back negative for cancer spreading.

....A beautiful Fall day when the air is crisp, the trees are magnificent to look at, and you only need to wear a sweater.

....Getting to spend my days with 2 of the most adorable, lovable kids I know.

....Being interviewed by a Wall Street Journal reporter for a potential upcoming story; she found me through my blog.  O.M.G.!!

....Ordering 7 dresses online in the desperate hopes that one (just 1) will look halfway decent for my husband's upcoming company holiday party; finding out that 2 dresses look great and needing to make a tough decision.

....Keeping both dresses.  :) 

....Being married to a guy who is ok with me keeping both dresses.

....Getting to see my family in less than one week.


DAMN THE SCALE!!  There are too many reasons to be smiling these days.  :)

*It should be noted that the above list is in no particular order.  Obviously getting the awesome Cancer test results and spending the day with my kids is of higher happiness importance than the library book and beautiful Fall weather.

**It should also be noted, that many items on the above list are admittedly superficial and really don't mount to a hill of beans.  True happiness is having healthy family and friends you love and they love you right back.
