49 and Happy!

Today I am 49 years old and I think I'm happier now than I've ever been in my life. Well, you know...except for those special days like the birth of my children, I was really happy then! I don't remember a time in my life when I was in an "up" mood for so long. I occasionally have a bad day but hardly ever. You know what changed? My attitude! I choose to be happy now!It's sounds so easy but changing the way you think about things isn't always easy...it takes time! I've been working on it and I'm proud to report that it does work! A positive attitude goes a long way!

I made myself a small 3-layer 6" birthday cake last night! Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate! I brushed camellia leaves with melted chocolate and firmed them up in the fridge and then pulled off the leaf. I made about 12 of them and got 5 that didn't break! Five is all I really needed so it worked out perfectly!!! I can hardly wait to taste it tonight!
