Thanks for the Happiness

Thankful Thursday blog posts are the perfect antidote to Tantrum Tuesday’s rants. It’s all about balance in life.

I’m a firm believer that gratitude (a close cousin to thankfulness) is the key to happiness.

Today’s thankfulness is pretty simple (simple is often the best but the hardest for us to notice) – I’m really grateful for the friends, fans, followers, customers and acquaintances  I’ve gathered around me through being online.

I’m a stay-at-home wife, mother, grandmother, artist and business woman so the connections are an important part of my day. Also some days it’s the most adult conversations I ever get. 4 year olds aren’t too interested in what I have to say! LOL Arden (hubby) is a road warrior so he is gone more than he is home.

I have found compassion, anger, truth, empathy, well wishes and humanity from the people who email, comment, tweet and reply.

During our recent influx of new Rose of Sharon Jewelry Birthday Club membership drive, I have been reading the comments.

I see everything from a simple thanks to a women sharing how tough life has been for her on disability to a woman wishing her family was not lost to her.

So thanks for the connections (and Happiness) you bring me every day!
