I am Happy!!!

i've always thought of myself as a happy person.. but it never felt so real than today..
i woke up from a good night's sleep with my kids beside me.. something i've missed in the last few years that i was still working away from home...
i watched my teenage son get ready for school.. he smells and looks really good.. (can't help but think of why he makes an effort with his looks! )
i got a loving kiss and a post-Valentine note from my little daughter.. and that  sweet "I Love You!" before she headed off to school...
i sit in front of my computer and i get loving and inspiring messages from friends...
i got my daily dose of God's word.. a daily routine that is slowly getting into my system and i'm loving it...
i take a break from work to write this short entry because i can't contain the happiness i feel... 

i think about all the simple pleasures of life.. and i have most of them..
i cherish the positivity that people share with me.. it is through them that i see the bigger picture.. and a brighter one it sure is..

i am happy...
there's nothing more one can ask for...
