Oh Happy Day...




I've been isolated at home with a sick kid, cleaning up vomit sheets, germy laundry rotating around the clock. Ma-in-law arrives for a 4-day visit in 24 hours & I've gotten nothing done. (Except for a nap or two to refuel.) Life is getting busy. My list of TO-DO's grows. I've got a bad hangnail. A house full of people will be arriving this evening & I haven't even started getting prepared. And why do my toilets decide to clog NOW?

So this morning I danced around the kitchen and sang loud songs badly while the radio blasted. And when my throat got sore I lip-synched instead.

I flung the curtains open & welcomed the sunshine, arms open wide, with a silent goofy grin.

And I've decided: It's gonna be GOOD day...

You should play that Black Eye Peas song, "I've got a feeling"- it gets me happy every time!

OY! Hang in there. The right attitude helps a lot. Leave the laundry for the inlaws. They like that. Or so I think :-)

If it's laugh, or cry - you might as well pick laugh, crying just makes your eyes puffy!

My bro-in-law brought out in church the other night that joy & happiness is a mind set. We have to make up our minds whether we want to be depressed & discouraged all the time, or joyful & happy. I'm glad you chose to choose the latter....it's my choice, too!!

Music and dancing are almost ALWAYS the answer, right? I've always thought so. ^_^

It's all in how you look at it :)

"... I WILL rejoice and be glad in it."
