Happy thoughts!

Peter Pan.

Who doesn't like a good classic?

So, I have came to the conclusion that I need to focus a little more on the good things around me.

I have a wonderful life. I finally have my goals pointed in the right direction; which can only make it better over time.

I forget to pause. I get so busy, I forget to see what is right in front of me already.

What are your happy thoughts?

I will share with you some of mine...although some are not THOUGHTS exactly :D

My Happy Thoughts:

Lola and Mr. Man were watching some Jackie Chan movie together the other day when Lola, not even looking away from the TV, says to him,"See? You should have been a ninja. That would have been really cool!" Mr. Man, completely dumbfounded, looks at me and says," but, I have a PhD! Doesn't that count for something?" Lola replies,"No. You could still become a ninja if you want!"

I went to order my books for college the other day, and-HAPPY THOUGHT CENTRAL!!!- realized I already own two of the books I need! Why is this a happy thought? One of those books is actually one of my favorite books I own. I have quite a few books, and constantly get harassed by people as to WHY I own so many. My ultimate goal one day is to have a floor to ceiling book shelf that spans an entire wall. With a ladder on wheels of course! So, really, I don't have enough books! Back to my original thought here: starting off college so late in life, with such a busy schedule already scares the bejeezus out of me. I think that if the reading in these classes is something I know I already enjoy, that that is a pretty good start to this endeavor!

Now, my little Miss Lilly...she is constantly on her computer writing. Lilly has asked me not to look at the stories because some of the stories are ones her and her 2 BFF's work on together...they send them back and forth to each other and add to them. I finally asked her the other day, to allow me to see the next one she starts. I let her know, that if I was able to see it, she would get credit in school for it, and even though I might correct some things in the story, it would only serve to make her a better writer. Within a few hours, she had inboxed me the first chapter in her new book. (the time it took her was impressive all by itself!) So, I get to reading this story, and actually get so into the story, I forget I am supposed to be correcting it! It was so good! So well written, I am not sure what I am supposed to correct on it! As a parent, you see your children go through spurts of different interest. Some they are good at, but others they are not, they just are trying out different things...after a while, they move on. I sincerely hope this wonderful daughter of mine keeps this interest!
