I'm Happiest When

my hair is curly
my freckles are showing
I am wearing big sunglasses
I have balloons
I am eating pasta
a prayer has just been answered
my nails are painted red
carrying a big purse
I am with Jake
there are daisies on my kitchen table
I buy new stationery
watching a sunset
I am eating McDonald's french fries with lots of salt and ketchup
I have just gotten a bargain
I am holding a baby
it is snowing
I have just written a song
I fit into my clothes
my apartment is clean
I teach a lesson and my church kids get it
it is raining
I have just finished a yoga class
God speaks to me very clearly
wearing big jewelry
I am on stage with a microphone and my guitar
I am wearing my thrift store Lacoste jeans
I am eating at Urban Taco
people relate and respond to my blog (publicly or privately, and this is not me begging for responses... ha ha)
listening to Patty Griffin, Andy Gullahorn, or Nickel Creek
I have finished a good book
I am with my girlfriends
eating Blue Bell Cookies 'n Cream ice cream
my wedding ring is clean and sparkling
lying on the beach
I have a whole day to do nothing
I am laughing with my husband
eating Papa Murphy's Herb Chicken Mediterranean Pizza
there is no line at the post office
I find money in old purses
I don't have to pump my own gas
I get birthday money
flying to somewhere fun
I have a Starbucks tall non-fat cafe mocha with caramel (syrup and drizzle, thank you)
