Are You Happy?

Brian and I went to a financial advisor Friday night. It was less depressing than I thought it would be! He is actually a patient of mine. He was very easy to talk to. As we were going through answering some financial questions, he asked, "Are you happy?" At first I thought he was joking, then I realized he was totally serious. Not too many people come out and ask you that. I didn't quite see how it related to my finances but I sooned realized it TOTALLY does. If you are not happy in your work, it could be a financial problem. You could lose your job or quit. If you aren't happy with your spouse it could mean a divorce which is a huge financial change. I actually had to stop and ask myself, "Am I happy?" It took me all of 3 seconds to decide that YES, I am very happy. I am so blessed with a wonderful life. My family is totally THE BEST! My sister's and parents are always there for me! Amy, I would literally die without! My husband works harder than anybody I know without complaining. He is supportive with our adoption which is the greatest gift he could give me! He's a terrific father. My children are my whole life! I love my job and the people I work with. My church family has changed me forever! My friends are so cool. Just yesterday Deana dropped off flowers and a mug for me....just because....she said they reminded her of me!!!! Is that an awesome friend or what! She's always smiling and sweet! Jennifer who has been by my side since 4th grade. Unbelievable what all we've shared together over the last 25 years. I'd be lost without her. When Julie's name pops up on my caller ID if makes me smile!!!! Love her! She's my special gift from God! Jodi is a huge shining light in my life!!! She and Jason are such inspirations to our family!!!! They've been unbelievably supportive with Mario's process!! Thank you so much for that! And for your friendship! My Guatemalan travel buddies...Angel and Debbie. So supportive via email! Okay...I know I rambling....but how could I NOT be happy with all the people I have surrounding me. I have to thank God for sending all these people and many more to my life! I love you all! Yep....I'm happy!
