Sounds like you have lots to be happy about...and probably always have. Sometimes its easier to see that which bothers us than to stare directly into the eyes of happiness. I'm glad you're doing well doll! Just remember, when/if you have a bad day, all of these things/people/places will still be there...hold on to them...and find more! :-)
