So, if the news is any indication, today is anything but a happy day anywhere in the world (unless you are these guys), but on my way home, I got to thinking that I probably spend about 75% of my time irritated, upset, or critical. I gripe at every person on the road, tap my toe inside my shoe when in line at Target, and became so disillusioned before the election that I almost didn't vote. The economy is in bad shape and any dozen people could give you two dozen different reasons why.
I can't completely change, and there is something really annoying about a constant Pollyanna. But I know that I am very, very lucky. I have a great family. I have several people that I consider true friends. I frequently encounter people who emerge as allies, even when I didn'

There *is* happy in every single day. Today, my reason to be happy are two - Owen and Theo. They are finicky and not always well behaved. But every time I show up, they are completely excited. They are always interested in impressing me. They do interesting things, like watch TV or dance like ballerinas. They don't care if I get promoted or that I have credit card debt. And they are just darned cute.
What made you happy today?
