MELANCHOLIA

Let's play a new game.
Let's list some things that make us happy.
I need it.

1. statues of cherubs in gardens with walks.

2. fragrances: Shalimar
Emeraude
powdery scents that remind me
of Gammie's old house

3. looking at photos of my kids and beautiful lanscapes
or interiors

4. vanilla pudding

ha I didn't type very well... that would be husband...
and I forgot silly questions the kids ask.
like James takes Harley to the church to play fetch and Gavyn asks me 'why do dogs go to church?'
Then Shae tells me later 'Shyanne asked me an awkward question' 'What?' I asked thinking it was some way for her to tease him or something. 'She asked if I was going through puberty'. 'So tell her no, duh ' was my response. 'But mom I'm growing hair in places I'd rather not mention' "Then DON'T mention that especially to me!" oh boy... wasn't ready for that.

WELL.... I wasn't ready for that either. Shae is becoming a very handsome boy and Gavyn is likely to become an Einstein of some sort. I am surprised that Shyanne would ask her brother such a question. Maybe she thinks everyone knows except her. OH, aren't you having one wonderful time. I love enjoying all this from the observer's point of view. Carry on, sweetie! You're doing a great job.

I wonder about that "happy" word. It reminds me of the "fun" word. I don't know that I qualify for those things. I think reading is good, and yummy food, and routine. I like color a lot. Hmmm. This is hard!

Thank you both for contributing.
It makes my day a brighter one.
