Happiness……

Wow, what a word. Just when you think you have it bad, others have it worse. I mean really, it isn’t all that bad. Can you imagine losing your house to a fire? I mean everything, and having nowhere to go? Some of these people in California amaze me. Ive been watching CNN with people sifting through the ruble that once was their home and memories and they cry and in the same breath say that its just a home, they can rebuild again. Where do they get the strength? I am not allowed to boo hoo anymore. I am so done! I will go on and wherever my family is, that is where my home will be. Closing in on our move. Let’s be grateful and happy for what we have!

And just when the world is looking bleak, you get a story like this: My mother-in-law volunteers at Mission of Mercy (it is a non-profit mobile medical clinic for uninsured working poor, homeless and economically disadvantaged people ) the people that work there are angels Anyways, on of the nurses that works there has been helping this homeless man for about 5 years now.. giving him food, helping him with shelter, taking him to church etc…. he passed away last week  and get this, he was a millionaire! He left the clinic $400,000, and some to the  Salvation Army, and a undisclosed amount to her! The news crew was there interviewing her….. Wow. Makes me tear up. My husband and I help the homeless every year. We save our change, and give it to them around Christmas.  I know it doesn’t sound like alot, but it sure adds up! If you have any feel good story to share, I would love to hear it. I think we need more of them on the news. Well, back to packing, sorting and getting my house together. Found this beautiful vintage baby bonnet today and the children’s book all for 2.50.

Oops , had to wish everyone a happy Halloween!
