This past week, I had lunch with a friend who used to be in my critique group. I asked how she was doing, and she said she was fine, and she was happy.
Those words, I'm happy made me start thinking. What makes me happy? I started compiling a list in my mind and decided write about them in my blog.
Here's my list: my faith, my hubby, my family, friends, our kitties, Midnight and Dory, baking for friends and co-workers at holidays and other occasions, and writing.
After answering the question of what makes me happy, I had to ask myself what makes me unhappy. The number one answer to that was pain. The next reason is dimming sight, which I feel sure will be temporary once I have cataract surgery. Anyway, I'm hoping that's the problem as I know I have cataracts.
Okay, I said writing makes me happy, but promotion goes along with being published, and I detest promotion. Why? Because it takes me away from all the things that make me happy. Promotion is a necessary evil if you want to make a name in the publishing world.
My question for you is what makes you happy and what makes you unhappy.
Have a great week. See you next Sunday.

Cruelty to Animals
Hi Folks,
If you've been reading my blog for a long time then you know my hubby and I are lovers of animals; domestic or wild.
Recently, there's been a lot of news on television about cruelty to animals. Last summer there were a couple of little dogs who were tortured and set on fire. Just this week, there was a beautiful black and white cat who was killed and skinned. The killer took the white spots of the hair with him.
I can't imagine what kind of person who can do this to an innocent animal. I'm not getting into the psyche of someone like this in my blog. I'll save this for a book.
The owners of these animals are devastated when their pets are harmed and mutilated. If it were one of my kitties, and I caught someone hurting them they would be very sorry.
Midnight, our little black cat is a talker and a prancer. She talks, swirls forward and backward to watch you to make sure you are following her. And did I say she keeps talking the whole time? lol 
Dory, our little tortie, hardly makes a sound. She only gets excited when she sees squirels or another cat. She can be ferocious, but she's tiny.
As you can see these two little girls like each other and are like sisters. One minute they're playing and the next they are fighting. Grin. These two like to sleep at the bottom of our bed. Remember to always protect the weakest in our society be they animals, children, women or elderly.
Take care until next week. You can find me on Facebook; Twitter; MySpace and there's many more.
See you next Sunday. Have a nice week.
Sandy
