Dear Universe!
Thank you for the opportunity to raise our daughter, Alana, in a conscious and mindful home!  The journey here has not been easy but we are doing ?the work? every day!  Thank you!
Your HAPPY particles,
Lynda, Mark and Alana

Just returned from a trip with my teenage children visiting both sets of grandparents (so lucky!) and now home with them, our own beds, and sweet cats who missed us.

I?m greateful for this Happiness Matters podcast: Why Fighting Hurts Kids. I feel that my marriage is in trouble (and my 14 month old twins may start getting affected). But on a more positive note - I?m greateful for a sunny day today (finally!) .

I?m thankful for the lessons I have learned from my daughter and daughter-in-law as they taught their preschoolers to relax and to become calm after a meltdown, or how to avoid a meltdown.  I was able to share these lessons with a teacher new to the classroom.

At the beginning of each month, I?m grateful that I have enough income to pay my bills for this month.  I used to think, ?Oh, I now have nothing left!?  But now I realize I don?t need more.

I am so grateful for Robertson house, they made a new home for my two year old and I when my abusive husband went too far. There are 40 families here that are safe, warm and fed thanks to many caring staff.

I am grateful for the satisfaction I receive working in our garden whether it?s weeding or digging a hole for a plant.  I enjoy listening to the white-winged doves cooing and mockingbirds singing up a storm!

I am grateful that my son has been happily enjoying his midyear recess at home doing numerous unstructured activities, mostly on his own, while I was in school.

I?m happy that my husband and I were able to resolve a delicate issue and improve our communication.  It felt good to ?fight right.?

I am grateful for health insurance, antibiotics, and a great pediatrician.
