We Are Family!!!

Happy Rainy Monday my Happy clan!!  I hope you all are having a super day so far!  You did read my intro correctly - it is a rainy day again in Arizona.  It's been rainy for a few days now and I'm just LOVING it!!!  I haven't seen a rainbow yet but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed I will soon ;)  But whether I see a rainbow or not, I'll still be happy.  Just because I can't see it doesn't mean that it's not there, right!!!

Kind of like your family - we're always there for one another no matter what!!!  Take my siblings and I for example.  We are all very, very different people.  We fight ... quite a bit sometimes and for the absolute dumbest reasons too for that matter, but we always have each other's backs!  Even if we aren't currently "speaking" to one another - if we found out something bad was going on we'd be at each other's side in a heartbeat!  See, we may be 9 different people - but when it's needed, we join together as 1!  Why, because that is what family does for one another!

And family isn't just blood relatives, family is anyone who truly loves you, who is there for you in good times and bad, who will tell you honestly if you look good or not in those new pair of expensive jeans and who will protect you and stand by your side when bad things happen.  Family will only raise a hand at you to draw you in for a hug or to wipe a tear from your eye!  Family is love!!!

So that brings me to today's Happy!  First, I want to start off with a picture of me and my siblings - since they are my Happy today!!

And here's your Happy - a few simple sayings to remind you that we all have "family" out there that love us very much and will always be there for us, no matter what!!!

I've learned that it's not what I have in my life

but who I have in my life that matters!!

BLOOD
makes you related;
LOYALTY
makes you family!!!

FAMILY:
Where life begins and love never ends!!!

Friends are the family we choose for ourselves!

Together we make a Family!!!

Family isn't always blood.  It's the people in your life

who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you

for who you are!  The ones who would do anything

to see you smile & who love you no matter what!!!

Ohana means family.
Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten!!

Family isn't who's blood you carry,

It's who you love and who loves you back!!

FAMILY:

The secret to having it all

Is knowing you already do!!!

So whenever you feel like you are alone, you're not!!  There is someone out there who loves you very much because you are their family!!!  And, I am one of them!!!  So go hug your loved ones and tell them you love them too!  You can never do it too much!!!  And in case you forgot, I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Until tomorrow, keep smiling and spreading that love!!

Peace, Love and Happiness!
