HAPPINESS

What brings happiness??? Well many things to tell you the truth! But, what can bring a smile to my face over and over? Well, it all started Monday while as a family we were playing Phase 10. This game was the first time we gave Brooklyn her own cards. Tried as she did to understand the game and come up with the correct cards ~but not working so well. Lucky for her she was sitting by her Dad and he was abble to put her in the right direction. So, as she was waiting her turn and smiling already just because she was playing instead of 'helping' someone else. Than it was her turn again. She looks at her cards and looks hopeful at the stack of cards to draw from. she picks up a card and goes from smile to pure joy. I mean she could not have smiled any bigger. Her face turned red and she was so excited she was crying ~ alligator tears !!! She continued her joyous moment and looked at everyone and was laughing and crying so excited and I do mean SO EXCITED!! We were all laughing with her and enjoying her happiness. What card did she pick-up????? You would think she had won the game. Well, not quite! She put the card down on the disscard pile~ it was a skip card and Kassidy's turn was skipped. Than we really started laughing. Brooklyn was still enjoying the moment and we let her continue too, telling her that was a amazing and all that good stuff.
2 days later I think about it and still smile.
So, what brings happiness?? Silly you , FAMILY !!
