Some Things That Make Me Happy

I'll be honest, today is not my favorite day. It started out at 5am with my husband waking me up because he couldn't find something that he needed for work. We looked and didn't find it. Not a nice way to start off the day. To add to that, it's raining and gray. And, I forgot to get Harper a pumpkin to take to baby school, so she had to take one of our prized pumpkins from the front porch. And, she would not let me do her hair this morning. And, and, and, and...

But, I did learn something this weekend and I'm determined to live it out. Peace and joy are not based on circumstances. Today, I choose peace and joy. There. Take that. Below I am listing some things that make me happy this morning.

1. I teach a graduate histology class and today I get to lecture about blood vessels. I love blood vessels. They are so cool. Check out this picture of pericyte cells attached to a capillary. It just doesn't get much better than that.


2. I was at Target last night and I saw that they already have Little Debbie Christmas Trees! Oh how I love the Christmas Trees - film and all.


3. My parents will be here in 2 days!

4. Harper and I get to hang out with Katie tonight.

5. This song is good.

I love counting my happiness. How do you get the pictures to post within the entry? Every time I try to add a photo, it puts it at the top of the blog, regardless of which box I check or where I have the cursor.

Corey-
All of my pictures come up at the top of the post too. Then you can just click on the picture and drag it to where you want it to be within the post. Basically, I write the text of the post first, then upload the pictures, then position them where I want them to be. Hope that helped.

I too am a lover of little individually wrapped cakes of goodness. Especially when they are shapped like a tree.

I miss you!! Christmas tree cakes make me happy too! Almost as much as warm woolen mittens and brown paper packages tied up with string...ok I just had to throw that in there!
