I am happy because:
Let’s see. First of all, because I have amazing friends who are being very supportive during this difficult time in my life. I don’t know that I could get through this without each and every one of them. Secondly, I’m happy because tomorrow is my last chemo infusion for this round, then I get a whole week off! Yay for that! I’m excited to have a break, and maybe feel a little better for a few days! I’m also happy because I have been able to have a better relationship with my little brother lately, which is a huge deal to me. We’ve not had much of anything since I moved out at age 17. I’ve missed him, we used to be close. I’m also happy because I have an employer who is being very understanding and flexible about this whole cancer thing. I’m happy that my older girls were able to stay a little longer this week and keep me company. And I’m happy that they are pretty self-sufficient, so I didn’t have a whole lot of extra work because they stayed. And I’m happy that I have such a supportive ex, and that he has such an incredible wife (my kids’ step-mom). I’m happy that my car is running, and that it has working air conditioning. I’m happy that I have an amazing bishopric, and I feel so very taken care of by these inspired priesthood holders! I’m happy that conference is coming up, even if I do have to go to the church to watch it this year. I think it’s amazing that it’s available! I’m happy that I will be able to sign off on a few YW goals early next week for my girls, and that my girls can sign off on a few for ME as well! I’m happy that I have been able to continue working, albeit part time, during my chemo, and that the money helps me pay for gasoline and my prescriptions. I’m happy that I have prescription medications to help alleviate some of the side-effects of the chemo. I’m happy for the beautiful weather we have been having, and I’m happy for the safety I feel in my home despite recent criminal activities in the complex. I’m happy for the blessings I have for being obedient, and I recognise the Lord’s hand in my life every day! I’m happy that I got the new Ensign in the mail. I’m happy that I have several wonderful hats to cover my bald noggin! I’m happy that I don’t have to buy shampoo, too! And I’m happy that I can play silly online games to distract me from scarier stuff. And I’m happy that Amber gave me a Kit Kat that she bought with her babysitting money, because she is so sweet and generous, and I’m happy that she’s that way! Plus I really love chocolate! 
I’m happy for the laptop I am using right now. I’m happy to look over and see my Janome all ready for me to start using when I feel better. And I’m happy for the angels who blessed me with said Janome, one year ago. I’m happy that I took the time to write down some happies, because by the time I was done typing this random string of things I started to smile, which is something I hadn’t done much of today. I’m so grateful for “Happy Because”, it has changed my life.
