Happiness is:
Good friends to make you laugh, talk you down off the cliff, and carry some of the burden for you.
Good food
A furry dog to warm my feet
A little girl saying "goodbye everybody" spontaneously to no one in particular
A warm smile from someone who knows she can count on her momma
Warm hugs of comfort (from anyone not considered a scary patient)
Becoming debt free and a conscious consumer
Loving myself enough to say adieu to drama no matter who/what/when/where/why
In 2008 I will:
Run: 5K, 10K, 1/2 Marathon (April in Nashville....) & maybe a full 26.2 mi
Lose 25 pounds (or at least find my waist again)
Eat for health not entertainment! (Yes that does include dessert, but not mindless snacking. I am a champ at eating a serving of something without noticing/savoring it. grrrrr)
Read at least one non-toddler book a month
Take the girls on a special "field trip" each month
Actually make it to Sunday School each Sunday. No excuses. (ok, other than sick kids and bad weather.....)
Stay out of debt.
Apply to Grad School. wow.
Okay, that is a pretty weighty list. I think I will stop there.
I hope everyone has had a perfectly fabulous start to 2008!

fun happy list!
And those are some great goals. I'm planning on doing a goal post sometime soon as well....
you're applying to GRAD school?? Cool!
I admire these goals so much! Love them and I know that you can and will do each and every one of them.
Go girl!!!
What a great happy list - I love it!
Your goals are inspiring! I need to go with you on a few (probably all) -- especially the S.S. thing (too often we use staying up late as an excuse), and the non-toddler book reading thing. I read in spurts, but need to focus on at least one per month.
I admire you for the running! You go, girl!
