A Week Filled with Happiness

"Most people are as Happy as they make their mind up to be."  Abraham Lincoln

So I made my mind up to be very happy this week and it worked.  I have had a great week so far and today promises to be even greater.  Some of the things that made smile had to do with other people and some were just about me.  I am working with two groups on a program called "All About You" .  The concept is to remind the women in the group to remember themselves and to take care of themselves.  Both sessions this week were filled with laughter and fun.  That definitely made me happy. 
I heard from my best friend in high school this week.  We have just reconnected and are going to get together in April.  I think it should be wonderful and that made me happy.  It is also a great incentive to lose those extra pounds I am always worrying about. 
And last but not least I had my first Creative Thursday night and I enjoyed it very much.  I am always putting off painting so I made a date with myself to paint last night.  I did invite over a few friends but everyone was already busy.   I kept my plans anyway, lit a candle, and painted.  I painted a slightly sleepy angel who is awakening to all types of exciting adventures. The awakening part of the picture was in tribute to Jamie's Wishcasting question on Wednesday, "What do you wish to awaken?"  I really enjoyed working with my watercolor pencils and if I don't get them out before Thursday I have definitely made a date with myself for next week.  So it has been a good week filled with happy events. I can't wait to read what made everyone else happy this week.
