    Right now the best thing in my life is that my son is returning from Spain after 9 months!! I can’t wait to see him!! I’ve missed him SOOOO much! My other son is in Heaven so he is always close, but I have REALLY been missing my kids! I am sooooo excited! (Can you tell??)

  6. Maria Soto says

    What is good in my life right now? well that I’m alive- that I have my three wonderful kids – I thank God that I have one more day to spend with all my loved ones and that he has given me many gifts – that I get to craft because I love it!! I’m thankful for today, hopeful for another tomorrow!!

  7. One of the best things about my life is being able to make glass beads – I just love melting glass!

  8. Oh- my kids are at wonderful ages! 9, 6 and 4! We can finally go on trips without a million supplies, everyone listens, no giant meltdowns. Just did a daytrip to the shore and they were a delight! So I am loving this stage of motherhood (and the great outdoor fun weather too).

  9. My best thing in life is life itself. Waking up to each day in my world of peace, garden, the ability to create-whether it’s designing a plot, coming up with a new food creation, making art in some form. Whatever it is, it’s all about the layers!

  10. My Life is Good right now because:
    … I Make Jewelry,
    … I’m Right where I Need and Want to Be,
    … I’m Happy with what I Have,
    … I Love where I’m Going.
    Life is Wonderful, Life is Learning every Day, Life is Magic: Create it yourself, Enjoy to the Fullest! =)

    For the first time in many years my daily life is more ‘normal’ due to information from a very dear friend about an amazing weight-loss protocol. I can do things that I thought I never would be able to do again. And to add to the joy of that accomplishment I have the distinct pleasure of taking some classes and learning new things from a young woman I watched grow up! šŸ˜‰ What more could I ask for?

  14. Alma Sanford says

    Is the warm beautiful days in Texas that I get to enjoy with my wonderful husband and 5 year old son, also soon to be our new addition that is coming in August.

  18. Deb Floros says

    No need to worry about comments. Looks like you have lots of fans.
    I have a wonderful husband that’s a constant “GOOD” in my life. We met 10 years ago this August and have been under the same roof for 8 years and have been married for 6 years. We may be poor in dollars but are rich in love and respect. We are both disabled. Him from an on the job accident. Me from a car accident. So we do get to spend a lot of time together which has only strengthen our bond. We are best friends.

    What is good about my life right now, is that I am finally out of debt. It took losing everything, and has been over three years of H-E-double hockey sticks, but really, it can only go up from here! Today, I just found joy in the fact that we had a really amazing thunder and lightning storm last night. It put on quite a light show! When life gets a little overwhelming, Mother Nature brings me back to earth and soothes me. She is incredible!!!

    Life is beautiful in of itself. Great husband, love my job as a nurse. Good friends. Had a wonderful day with my 21 month old granddaugher – Sophia Bella – yesterday at our farmers market. While buying asparagus, I looked down at her in the stroller and she had pilfered a bright red tomato and was eating it with both hands, juices running down her tangerine colored shirt. The look on her face was priceless. You would have thought she was eating an ice cream sundae! It is those small moments in life that bring us such pleasure. I came home and made her a stretchy beaded pink bracelet:) Love her sooooo much!

  31. I’m very blessed! I have a husband I’m still crazy about and we’ll celebrate our 29th anniversary next week. I have two great kids…Had my daughters wedding last year and will marry off my son this Oct. And am finally finding myself. Actually got the courage to quit my job of 13 years and am now working from home making jewelry, which I love to do. Life is great!

  32. I have the day off from work, and I am dedicating it to CRAFTING: Scrabble tile necklaces for two friends, buying fabric for a blouse, and knitting a baby sweater for a friend! Best day ever!

  33. After much hard work, my daughter is graduationg HS as Valedictorian. I’m so proud of her. Oh, and the sun’s out today! Oh, and I’m going on a mtn. bike ride later. Oh, and my 20th wedding anniversary is almost here. Oh, and and and šŸ™‚ Life is good.
