I started this forever ago when one of my blogging inspirations was doing a series called "Pieces of Happy" every Friday. From what I can tell, she isn't doing it anymore, but I think it would be great for me to get back to, especially since I am not where I thought I would be in life. So, without further ado, let's get to it.
My Pieces of Happy
1. Camp. Even though it wasn't long, it's always rejuvenating to be there.
2. Surprises. My best friend showed up at camp after saying he couldn't come. He even went out of his way to make sure no one ruined the surprise. I'm sure the look on my face was priceless. It made my week!
3. Opportunities. I applied to go on a mission trip with the company I work for...for free.
4. Free coffee. My high school choir director did a "random act of kindness" in the Starbucks drive-thru because he was ALMOST POSITIVE (quoting him) I was in the car behind him.
5. Co-workers. You'd have to meet them to understand. Let's just say one of my co-workers recently reenacted "Hocus Pocus" by riding the vacuum like a broomstick...then we dressed up like Uncle Si from "Duck Dynasty".
6. Counseling License. I received my Iowa school counseling license late last week.
7. Long-lost friends. I saw several high school friends on Tuesday for a funeral. Hopefully next time I see them, it's under better circumstances.
8. Consistency. I'm getting into a daily routine.
9. God's presence. I'm starting to feel like I'm exactly where I need to be.
10. Reading. So much time to read. Love it!
I'm blessed with a life that may not always be easy, but is completely according to God's plan. He's helping me see that His plans are better than any I could have dreamed or wanted.
To close, I am going to share some words of wisdom that were printed in Curt Turner's (my friend's dad) bulletin at his funeral. He passed away last week after a thirteen month battle with cancer, but kept a positive attitude through it all.
What are your reasons to laugh?
