Happy Because:

I can paddle again.  Sure it's raining, and the channel behind our house is filled with rack from a storm and I couldn't actually get out to the river if I tried, but I can technically paddle again.  For a little while, before my chest gets too tired and starts to cramp.  (Trust me, you DO NOT want a boobie cramp.  Seriously - so. weird.)

I have amazingly good insurance.

I do not have to work.  There is no worry about where grocery money will come from or about how I'm going to pay my deductible for that awesome insurance.  Now that is something to be happy about.

I booked both the July 4th at the lake AND Christmas in Jamaica vacations!  Both with good friends.  Can't wait to sip a (small due to calories) drink and enjoy some plain old fun.

I Do Not have cancer.  And it left with a 1 way ticket, so I have no plans to have it visit ever again.

I have new boobs.  And while they are currently just tissue expanders, the real, softer than my natural ones implants will be inserted sometime in late July/early August.  And while I'm at it, discussions of fat removal on my thighs has begun.  I mean, you know, if I'm going to be under at the plastic surgeons office, why not wake up with new boobs AND without those horrid, hereditary saddle bags that have plagued me all my life.  I mean, seriously, I have to lose TWENTY pounds before those suckers go away.  And I'm not a big girl.  20lbs would make me a weak tooth pick.  But they've only disappeared once in my adulthood, and that took strict calorie counting and excessive wake boarding.  That makes me tired just thinking about it.  It's not like I don't already work out like crazy and eat healthy foods.  That's why god created plastic surgeons with lipo machines.

It's a quiet, rainy day at home today.  Perfect for reading or blogging or watching movies and cleaning house.    But it's Monday, so most people will have to work.  Not me :)   I'm off to read and clean house and watch a movie and have lunch with a great friend.  So see?  Happiness is always easy.  You just have to think about it a bit more some days.  :)
