What Could It Be?

A lot of idle time has been spent in my brain, analyzing this situation.

I am searching for an answer.

What could it be?

• Letting go of past hurts 
•  Middle-aged hormones
• Four very good-hearted, healthy children
• A loving husband 
• Having immense grief, then learning to let it go
• A wonderful town full of interesting, cultured, polite people
•  A Goodwill always full of vintage goodies
•  Peace from God
•  Snow that falls like we are in a snow globe
• Gentle sunshine and pretty sunsets
• The mostly fun process of house-hunting
• A friendly loving home
• A supportive family back home
• Loving friends all around the nation
• A cute, funny cat
• A condo that is warm and cozy
• The view of the gorgeous Allegheny River every day
• Books
• Historic homes on every street
• Facebook/Pinterest/Blogs
• A fun business where I get to help people AND aid in adoptions
• Obvious aging making me appreciate every moment

I can't pinpoint one reason for my happiness. My list could go on ad infinitum. I just want to say, semi-privately, that I am so thankful for my life. I am so thankful for peace in my heart, for all the moves we have made, and for finally deciding to put down roots.  Life has never been better. I am not saying it is perfect in every way.  But right now, my cup overflows. Thank you Lord, for answering the longings of my heart, for always being there, listening with steadfast love. Thank you for the awful times and the good times. Your plan is perfect.
