Things that are making me happy

As most anyone who is close to me, or has had to be within blog or FB reading distance, knows that I am more than a little blue lately.  Okay, for most of the past year I've slipped into a leeeetle bit of a depression funk.  It's all good, nothing stays the same and I fully expect to kick this to the curb soon.  But for now, I am kinda, sorta letting myself wallow in sadness.  I post this not for sympathy, but to journal the fact that the ever happy mCat had a period in her life where she wasn't quite so happy. 

Each day I am trying to find at least one thing that makes me smile, even if for a minute.  I try to take a pic and then go back and look at it again to feel that "happy" for a sec

Getting a paycheck to do something I love

Lunch with besties (missing you Ree and Ana)

A niece who isn't afraid to demonstrate her newly learned skills on the guitar

Ella's big blue eyes

Ella and Colson exploring the wonder of the Christmas tree

Ella and Splenda's smiles

My cute lil Bird singing with her school choir at our ward party

Biscuits at Ruth's diner

Breakfast with Nicole and Tib

Getting Adam and Nicole to put those lemons in their mouths like that.  I bet their teeth hurt for hours after

A vegan dish that was better than any bacon and eggs

You can tell I hardly liked it

Cleaning under the bed and coming across one of Chloee's socks. 

Having a bestie bring a fun new ornament hoping it'll help me find some Christmas spirit

Happy Mail!!

Love notes!

Yup - all things that brought or still bring a smile to my face.  One small kick of these blues at a time.
