Happy Thoughts !

I read Redbook. I love it so much that I subscribe to the magazine. I also cut out quotes and little blurbs to add to my journal.

There are two things I really LOVE to read each month! The first one is called "The Real Deal... How ___________ Does it ." Redbook chooses a reader every month to interview. I love how the woman has to chose three adjectives to have to describe herself. I often stare at the list wondering which 3 I would choose. Wife? Multi-tasker? Cheerleader? Maid? Problem-solver? Partner? How does a woman choose JUST THREE? Most women wear a lot of hats at any given time in the day! It is what we do! We have this inner need to get things done, do it well, and be in control all while looking good! Who knows why... but it happens!

The second part I love to read is the "5 Things to Be Happy About Right Now." It changes with the month and the season. It makes me think about all those silly things that bothered me on the day I read it and I realize they really were not what mattered ! I also cut out and save these. I usually add my own Top 5 for the month in my journal.

It has been a awhile since I have written or decorated my journal, so I thought since I just read Redbook. I would list those five things here and then head off to bed!

1. A Warm Cozy House
2. Teaching & Working Part Time
3. My Hubby getting my AM coffee for me
4. Keeping up with the 20 year olds at my spinning class
5. Turkey Day is just around the corner
