JOY!

The sun is finally out after a couple of days of rain! YAY! It’s pretty windy and only about 50 out, but I’ll take it. Let’s face it, the sun makes me happy, the rain and dreary days do not! I should probably live in San Diego, Phoenix or some other perpetually sunny place, but well….my life is in NJ so here I am!

I’m not sure if it’s the turning 40 this year thing or just an introspective streak, but I have been thinking a lot about what makes me happy. It’s odd; it’s really a crazy mish mash of things. It’s sitting in the sun on my porch in the morning. Its hearing Spencie laugh…that kid has THE most infectious giggle you’ve ever hear! It’s sitting on the couch next to Matty playing Scrabble on our IPOD touches. It’s so many things really…a good song on the radio, “Picture of the Week” on the MSNBC website…I could go on and on.

I came across a video again today on YOUTUBE that to me just really personifies joy! It’s a group of people that I sure would love to have as friends. I’m sure you’ve seen it; it was all over the news when it first came out last spring/summer, but I am going to share it again. I am sure it makes you smile too!
