A fellow blogger does a De-Stress post every week and I love reading them...very helpful stuff she got. For this week's De-Stress Thursday, she invited anyone interested to list about 100 things that make them happy. I actually like this one because once I'm done writing my list, I'm sure I'll be able to put my life back into perspective.

some of those things were on my list too before life cruelly took them away from me. :( I can see that much of your happiness also revolves around your husband and kids, which proves I'm not crazy for not being happy now.
I'm glad you have 100 reasons to be happy.
This is a great list, and probably took a lot of thought. I concur with most of them, except maybe hugs and kisses from your hubby. That would just be weird. But, I like hugs and kisses from MY hubby...
love this list-- I am a little concerned that you get a stampinUP order making it Christmas everyday... lol.. just being a brat-- as usual.
Hi Anjeny,
I love your list. I have a list like this and whenever I want to make myself feel better, I pick something off my list and do it.
The picture on this post is real cute too. Did you take it yourself?
And, your children are beautiful. I see the temple in the back ground behind the picture of you and your hubby.
I am so glad to come across your blog. I love to read stories from Mothers, especially LDS Mother's.
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your Halloween.
Elizabeth
