Hello Everyone! I've decided to post a happy blog.  Only about things that make me happy, I admire, or see something happy I want to share.  Someone suggested this as a mental exercise because if you have an objective to look at only happy things, then it is hard to be negative or sad.  So this is my baby project and to any who may be following thank you for reading and I look forward to hearing your thoughts, ideas, or things that make you happy.

Wondering about the title?  Well, I was considering doing something Harry Pottery because, Yes, I am that much of a nerd.  But then I recognized that not everyone likes Harry Potter (shocking I know!!) so I compromised.  I have always loved the fresh smell of books, or journals, and yes...parchment.  Hermonie lists fresh parchment as love potion signifier for her so boom:  compromise. 

My first official things that make me happy blog list:

• Watching Titanic with my mum:  It is our movie and we usually share a few tears, remarks about how we love the music, and chocolate in various forms
• Hallmark movies:  Tonight was a new one, Beyond the Blackboard, about a ordinary woman who changed the lives of homeschool kids by simply caring.  Go watch it!
• Luke Bryan's, "Country Man"video. So funny!
• Easter supper with my sweet family including:  ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, homeade yeast rolls, cranberry sauce, and sundae's.  Sundae's on Sunday! Get it?!!
• Laying my head down on a comfortable pillow and finding that perfect cold spot where you are just the most relaxed before going to bed.
• Jamming out to music when taking my sisters to school:  I'm the #1 fan of Karly and Kassidy Jones. Love those girls!!!
• The Ya-Yas:  Our group of 5 best friends going on almost 8 years now.  We found our inspiration for the group name from the Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.  We've bonded through laughter, trials, Mountain Dew, being far apart, but mostly laughter.  Here's a photo of us crazy girls. 

• Happy Quote:  "Put a smile on your face...and make the world a better place!"--Random Song

What made you happy this past week? Feel free to share. 

Until next time...peace we out! Love, Kate J.
