“Gratitude is born in hearts that take time
to count up past mercies.”
~Charles E. Jefferson

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Now, you’re going to have to bear with me this week, because I’m not feeling as happy & grateful as usual.  Not that anything’s wrong, it’s just been a week of busy-ness & stress & nothing particularly wonderful happening.  In other words, business as usual. LOL

But let’s strive to find something to be happy about, shall we?

I AM HAPPY that I am healthy as a horse.  I think we forget sometimes how very important this is, & how grateful we should be that we aren’t in worse shape than we are.  There are so many people out there sick & miserable & in pain, & I am infinitely thankful I am not one of them!

I AM HAPPY for the excellent health of Madame Mommy Dearest & all of my wonderful kittehs.  Especially my oldest baby, whom the vet warned me was “getting up there.” Little did he know she’d still be doing so well two years later.  Way to go, Precious! :kittylaugh

I AM HAPPY that after a bit of a slow-down, my “Dynasties:  The Kincaids” book is moving along again at a decent pace.  Man, when characters decide to stop talking to you & going with the program, they mean business. :bloody   It’s all that hot sex I’ve been forcing them to have; I think I wore them out.  :inbed

I AM HAPPY that the weather is finally nice enough to open all the doors & windows. I love all that fresh air, & so do the kittehs! :kittyplay   Even with all of the summer storms & tornado warnings, it’s still been mostly bright & lovely.

I AM HAPPY for my positive attitude & strong faith, even in the face of adversity.  Oh, yes.  I don’t know how I’d get through some days without them. :knock

Hey, that’s pretty good!  I did better than I expected to. *vbg*

Now it’s your turn.  I hope you have lots of happy-happies to share, but even if it’s been just a ho-hum kind of week for you, see how many things you can list that you’re grateful for. :whichone

And let’s not forget to announce the winner of this week’s Free Book Friday giveaway, Stud Muffins: Luscious, Delectable, Yummy (and Good Muffin Recipes, Too!)…
