Looking for the Happy

The dark days of December are always accompanied by holiday parties and cheer. The people of planet earth should be celebrating and happy because as it has already been established, not everyone lives on planet my baby died.
There are more of us than there should be on planet my baby died. My heart will forever hurt for those lost and left behind in Newtown. I also know that grief is not reserved for those of us who have outlived a child. There are so many tragedies that some days, it is so difficult if not impossible to find any happy.
A very wise friend once suggested to me that I just try to find one thing I like to do every day and do it. It does not matter how small the thing is – it could even be taking a shower. So, yesterday this is what I found to make me happy . . .

It looks like someone dumped all the inflatables of the world into that yard! Great pics and a perfect place to find a moment of happy.

Love that you headed over there–and clearly the kids are having a fun time!
Nice moments of happy!
