I must say one of the things that helps me have a great day is to get up and get the crew up, dressed, fed, and out the door to school...said no one EVER!!! Haha... but seriously, I like to take the kids to school because I get to listen to klove, christian radio.  It helps me remember that this is only a temporary situation and that one day these kiddos I am singing with on the way to school are going to be singing their own kids to school. It helps me to be thankful for what I have and even what I don't have. It is so easy for us to loose sight of the big picture when we are rushing and driving here and driving there. SECRET ALERT!!!
** I like to sit in the driveway after taking the kids to school and sing my heart out as loud as I can!** (try it just once)

This may sound like a shocker to some since I have had a wild streak that has popped up from time to time. It all began one morning when I was pretty stressed about the ususal family stressers. Money, food, laundry, kids fighting, blah, blah, blah. I was flipping stations after telling the kids in the car that they were driving me nuts fighting over a seat in the tank! On pops this song on klove and it was like God slapped me in the face and said wake up!! Why don't you just give it to me. I took a deep breath and said, "happy place." The 50 lb weight was lifted and I was singing and smiling and Doodle looks at me and says, "you found your happy place H"

After I dropped off the kids, on the way home, the 30 day challenge was issued on klove. For 30 days listen to nothing but klove, or if you are like me and don't like commercials, I flip between three stations. I took that challenge.(no I didn't listen to nothing but christian because I don't control everyone else, but if it was my choice it was there)

Here I am almost six months later and I am still finding my happy place every morning or at least everyday and having much brighter and happier days myself along with my family. I just had to share this because (1) it was on my heart to do so and (2) I just think we all need a 30 day challenge every now and then. :-)

Well, I am off to work! I hope you all have a great day and remember "find your happy place!!"
