The Keys to Happy...

 It's been a wonderful, tiring, amazing and blessed past couple of weeks because last week...

I got to see my Arizona & Alaska people!!!

I was so happy, I didn't mind all the heat we were in!

The visit was to see one of my nephews get married and begin a wonderful chapter of life with a very lovely young woman. BUT also 

         I got to see my Arizona & Alaska people!!!

It was awesome. I met some of my great nieces and nephews for the first time; I saw their parents for the first time in YEARS, and I got to be with my 2 older siblings. 

You don't realize how important the people in your life are until you haven't seen them for a while. And I truly believe there is power in the act of being surrounded by love.

This won't be a long post because, of course, I caught some little bug or something and am whipped. What I came to do was list my personal "Keys to Happy":

• Family - those that are yours by blood or by love. 
• Proverbs 17:22 "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person's strength". 
• Contentment in the moment - We are not promised our next breath so let's enjoy this one!

Now, I have to go and unpack and try to do something with all the photos I took!

Peace
