the sun is always shining somewhere

There are times in our lives when the walls of security seem to vanish as if they were only imaginary
to begin with. This weekend has been one of those times. I'm not going to say more other than, i'm soo very greatful for the loving support and belief of family/friends and God. There are times i dont pray at all, and others when i just cant stop babbling. But God always make me feel better, its as if a peace assends on my spirit. Its not like God gives me answers, but he may and i'm just not quiet enough to hear them. But god does take away my pain, erases my memories, and leaves me the strength to carry on. 
  I am so very blessed to have all that i have in my life. And there is not a day go by that i do not remember that. There is always sunshine after storms, there is always laughter again after sorrow. And its with these thoughts in mind, i will carry about my day.

things that make me happy when i'm feeling sad

So they say that whatever goes up must come down, and THEY are right. Our fabulously high moral and attitutes at times do the enevitable dive bomb to a place that can make us uncomfortable and sad. So knowing this happens on occasion i thought i'd share some of the 'not-so-deep-and-meaningful-ways' i can be cheered up!

10. Looking at old photos of family and friends

9. Doing something no-matter how small on building my businesses
8. Re-arranging a room, espically my bedroom something as small as new cushions makes me smile

7. Buying some new jewellery (espically the fashion stuff from DIVA)
6. Looking back on and celebrating personal acheivements
5. Josh Groban songs!! (mostly the ones sung in Italian)
4. My castelbel candle in fig & pear...oh how this makes my heart melt, so sad its almost gone and i dont know where to get another one! :(

3. A hug attached to the words "we can fix anything"
2. My little people singing me songs or doing dances

And coming in at number 1 is.......

ARCHIE COMICS
Yes, i am addicted. They have been my comfort since before i could read. Now i read them to my little ones. I dont think i'll ever grow out of this childhood treasure..:)

With thoughts of joyful days,
