A 10 on the Happiness Scale

21 Mar

Jade wanted to know what the happiest day of my life has been… and i’ve been pondering it ever since she asked.  Well, you know, not all the time, but from time to time.

i can think of lots of joyous occasions ~ graduations, weddings, my daughter’s birth day, homecomings and reuniting, the day we got custody of my stepdaughter, fabulous sex,… i don’t know how i’d pick one as the happiest.  If i think of happiness on the 1-10 scale, with 1 being not happy at all, and 10 being the happiest i could possibly be {yes, i really think like that} then those were all 10’s.  Or 9.9’s anyhow.  

And sometimes, i just look around my life ~ driving down the road, sitting at my computer, standing in the kitchen ~ and just feel happy.  i might be alone, or with family, or with Sir, but it’s an overwhelming feeling of happiness.  And that’s a 10 too.

Having to be at work at 7 a.m. does not make me so happy.  But it is what it is… each day brings its own pleasure and pain.  Who knows ~ this one could turn out to be the very happiest one!

Springing…

11 Mar

…forward, that is, into daylight savings time!  

i love daylight savings time.  That extra hour of  brightness is so exciting.  For months, i go to work in the dark and come home in the dark…  🙁  plodding through the days, feeling as heavy as my coats and boots and scarfs ~

But NOW ~~

i can feel myself shedding those layers, emerging joyful and free into the warmth of spring!  YAY!!!

i have plans.  i’m beginning to piece together a plan for the-rest-of-my-life.  Springtime ~ and it’s sunny, and heading for a high of 70 today.  Woohoo!!

And of course ~ more icing on the cake ~ Sir is in my kitchen again.  Woke up this morning with His body next to mine, and memories of last night dancing in my head.

Stroked and caressed, and made coffee ~ finding so much pleasure in the mundane… and life is just good, good!  

Then, i was reading over at Sfp about her taking the next steps in her journey toward motherhood, and i’m so thrilled for her.  My daughter just entered her third trimester, another friend just had it confirmed that she’s pregnant ~ with twins ~ and now Sfp, right there on the verge… with decisions to make.

So i have this image of us ~ her cyber-womenfolk, if you will ~ joining in support of her as she stands poised on the brink…

i hope this is not so pagan it offends, but i see it like this:

My dear friend, Sfp ~
