Happy Thursday! With all the chaos in the world, it always helps to focus on the Happy things! What are some things that make you happy? Today for me, it was the simple pleasure of swinging on my porch swing, eating dark chocolate peanut M’Ms , lounging on the couch and getting a great shoulder massage. Massages always make me happy!
So what Happy things are on your list? When you take the time you may be surprised at how many things come to your mind. Don’t let the darkness in this world shut out the many things that can make your heart shine! Like the warmth of my dog’s body against my foot as she softly snores. Feel free to share below what makes your heart smile and most of all BE THANKFUL for the little joys life brings!

Happiness today for me was when the sun came out after a day that had been totally gloomy and rainy. Somehow I had expected the gray weather to continue all day.

My two crepe myrtles are refusing to bloom where as everyone else’s are. I guess I am thankful that they aren’t dead. They are named Myrtle and Gladys.

Perhaps there’s a turtle eating the blooms.

Crepe Myrtles are really pretty! Hope they bloom soon, which they couldn’t do if they were dead.
Oh gosb! Myrtle? So original there? 🙂 So where did Gladys come from? It doesn’t rhyme with Myrtle and Myrtle is a turtle but Gladys isn’t an animal.

When I was little, my grandparents had a friend named Gladys. I can’t tell you anything about her other that she was really nice, so I kind of like the name.

There must be something in the name. My dear friend’s Mom is named Gladys and she is really sweet too.

I don’t need my nails done and spa days, and tons of shopping but getting professional massages is something I will spend money for. Very wotth it! So anxious for my place to open back up! But I do always appreciate my husband’s massages as well!
