Sing it with me now… if you’re happy and you know it clap your hands. If you’re sad and you know it wipe your tears. If you’re mad and you know it stomp your feet.
Yesterday was quite an emotional day for our country. I focused on my girls instead of social media, since Annabelle and Ailey are a constant reminder of what is good and right in this world.
Here are some other things that make me so happy I clap my hands. I bet you can agree with me on a few…
Being alive.
A slice of cheesey pizza with a crispy bottom and just-right chewy crust.
Sitting beside a roaring fire while the snow falls silently outside.
Baby giggles and gummy smiles.
Watching a beautiful sunrise or sunset.
Uninhibited dancing.
Christmas morning.
The worn pages of a library book or the crisp pages of a new book plus all the time (no interrupting chickens) to really settle into the story.
The first day of vacation.
When “Shout” starts playing at a wedding or family party.
Karaoke with my siblings.
Scalp massages at the hair dresser and foot massages at the salon.
Payday.
Being alive.
If you’re having a bad day, focus on something good. I promise there is some-thing. What makes you clap your hands?
