Just for Fun!

Recently, I visited twittermoms.com where the question was raised: What 10 Little Things Lead to a Happier, Healthier You? I am a pretty happy person and thought it would be easy to sum-up these details but instead, I found it quite challenging. So, in a nutshell, here are my "10 Little Things that Lead to a Happier, Healthier Me."

1. Trying Something New- Check-out my needle felted "Reggie Bird" (right)
2. Being Rested- Sleep! It makes creating, parenting and loving so much easier.
3. Being Spiritual- Saying a prayer, being kind, clearing my mind
4. Drinking Caffeine Only on the Weekends-This is so hard for me... I love coffee!
5. Hugging my Children as many times a day as they will allow me.
6. Knowing When to Take a Nap- It's a great way to start the day over.
7. Remembering Exercise is a great way to transition from Artist to Mom (among other countless benefits)
8. Being an Artist- Preserving and protecting that time everyday
9. Being a Mother & Wife- Preserving and protecting that time everyday
10. Eating Well- Fruit all morning, a hearty salad for lunch and a fiber rich dinner... Yum!

These 10 things leave me with a happy heart and wonderful life. And when things aren't going too well, they make the best of the worst which is far better than the worst of the worst!
