Things to be happy about

While there are things that I am always happy about on a daily basis, sometimes you just have little thoughts about life in general and things you are happy about.

Last night - I was happy that Mango was very playful.  Sometimes I worry that she is depressed because of the move from our house in Louisiana or because of the new kitten.  But last night, she was very excited, running through tunnels and playing with feathery mice and feather toys.  Mango LOVES feathers!

Today, while driving to work, I had this thought of something I was happy for, well most because it helped form the person I am today.  Leading up to this ... its going to sound like I am really full of myself, but I am not.  While driving, I thought ... I am actually happy I didn't look this good in college or HS.  If I would have more people would have liked me and more guys would have been interested.  I don't know that I would be the same person had things been different for me.  In my mind and eyes things may have been easier for me and made me not want to work as hard for things.  So I am grateful that I was more homely in HS and college, and that more people made fun of me and chose not to befriend me.  Make me struggle for things I did get.  It really made me a great person, well that's my opinion anyhow!

I want to start another mason jar for accomplishments for 2015.  We did one in 2013, and I was supposed to make it into a scrapbook project. Well, as some know, I am not that creative or artsy, so yeah - haven't completed it yet .....  I will do that and a shadow box I have been meaning to complete for the guest room.  Oh lord, I am not going to go in all the things I  have waiting to be crafted because I'd run out of characters for this blog period!  I also have a bunch of tshirts of mine and Luis that I would love to have made into a tshirt quilt.  Actually I asked a girl that works in the office we are in - and she has done a few of these  - so I am excited!  She can do that .. so just take that off my list of crafts to be completed! haha! outsourcing is how I do my crafting!

I'll leave you with another great cat and cat dad picture.  Luis called this one " the cat round table"  Mango was up to speak her mind in the photo, because she has the blue toy!
