Timothy's Golf Skills, Stuff That Makes Me Happy...and a Giveaway
Yes...I am a little proud of my oldest son's mad golf skills! How cool is this video he made in the backyard? I thought you might like it!
I don't have much to say that's earth-shattering here...but I thought I'd keep it simple and maybe do something fun and random if you're up for it. That's about as deep as I can get right now.
It's been on my heart lately to find joy in the little things. So, here's the deal: I'm going to list five things that "make me happy". They have to be in the simple, little things category. I'd love to hear what makes you happy, too. So, if you'd like to play along, list five things that make you happy in the comments below...and you will be entered to win a signed copy of Lynnette Kraft's wonderful book, In Faithfulness, He Afflicted Me. For a chance at a second entry, become a follower of this blog...or let me know in the comments if you already are a follower! I love a good giveaway! Giveaways make me happy!! =)
What Makes Me Happy (this week)?
1. Fresh tomatoes...mmmm, mmmm...good.
2. The smell of my kitchen after I've baked cookies all day (and the satisfied tummies of my family after they sink their teeth into the goodies!).
3. Cleveland Browns football (Even more so in the rare event that we win! And triple if we beat the Steelers...sorry September! Quadruple if Brady's playing!)
4. New school supplies (especially pink post its).
5. Laughing with friends.
O.K....your turn...What makes you happy?
