If you're happy and you know it, your hands,
If you're happy and you know it, your hands,
If you're happy and you know it and you really want to show it,
If you're happy and you know it, your hands.

Now this really makes me smile and laugh. There is a new commercial on the radio that uses this song, and recently when $Moonbeam13 and I were driving along it came on and we both, without saying anything at first started clapping when we were supposed to. Then after looking at each and giggling, we started wailing the song out loud. Ah, but another joyous moment.

When I awoke this morning the words that came to me were RICH, and HAPPY. This is how I feel. The richness of my life has become so apparent to me over the last week or so, many things are unfolding as my life is coming full circle.

I am feeling a sense of urgency to return to Sedona AZ to continue a spirititual journey I started (thanks to Danielle) 4 years ago. I have envisioned the completion of my tattoo, while getting a massage on Saturday and I have been able to finally move past my family walking away from me after my mothers death. I even thanked them the other day, because I realized they have afforded me the freedom to finally be me. Each and every day I am crossing paths with people that I know are supposed to be with me on this leg of my life and journey. My eyes are being opened as well my heart and soul. I have a new found sense of excitement, and joy. Oh, could creativity be just around the corner?

And to all of you my new friends, you make me happy, and I thank you. Thank you for all your wonderful wishes for both Mothers Day and my birthday. This is an exciting time for me, and one I am grateful to share with you. Aging can be a marvelous thing and, I will embrace this stage of my life. Oh, and only one more year, some restaurants consider 55 a 'senior' and I will be afforded a 10% discount on meals. My mother is smiling down at that, I am sure. The perks of getting older.

So on this day, I ask, what does my heart feel and what do my eyes want to see. RAINBOWS - all the rainbows of life ..... enjoy!

Again I thank you all for your love, kindness and generosity, may you, each and every one, have a blessed day. As my birthday celebrations go on for at least a month, it may take time for me to get back to you all, but I will.
