Little things that make me happy...

One of the little things that make me happy is also one of the big things that make my life so crazy. I have a deep dark addiction. One that I have been nursing for years, kind of like the way an alcoholic nurses a beer. (even though I have never had a drop of anything to drink in my life. I have always found myself as the DD, but that is a different story) I am addicted ti help others. I guess I contracted this disease from my grandmother. She was the very same way. But helping others makes me happy. To know that something I was able to do changed the outcome of a specific situation. But due to this fact, my life is a little crazy. I am a full time high school teacher, I am a county registrar that oversees local elections, I am a member of the Library Board of Directors, I am the Vice-President of the Lanier County Historical Society, I am the Chairman of the Leadership-Lanier class of 2010, I work with the youth at my church, and I am a husband, father, brother, son, and grandson to my family. The happiness that my addiction brings is sometimes overshadowed by the work that must be done.

But there is something that does bring me joy, no matter what time of day, or what I have been called on to do. The center of my world, my joy, actually there are two little things that make me happy, and they both are at home asleep in Spiderman pj's in my bed. My two little boys.
