I was looking through former blogs, and found this photo of 
my friend Miranda, whose birthday was a couple of weeks
ago, and the image illustrated a post about gratitude. I 
thought good idea. Actually let's make it 10 reasons to be
happy. Wow it grew to 12.

Ten reasons I'm happy -- make that twelve!

1. I'm beyond happy that I love my partner.

2. I'm thrilled that my partner loves me to the moon and back.

3. I feel overjoyed that I have an amazing family. 

4. I'm so lucky to have wonderful friends both here in 

    Toronto, and around the world through the art world. 

5. I'm delighted that I'm alive and well.

6. I'm so happy that I do work I love, and meet wonderful people
    through my work.  (The photo above is of my friend Miranda
    Brouwers and her husband Rolf Leemeijer when we met at
    The Florence Biennale in Florence Italy.)

7.  I'm so happy that we love our animals -- Sally the dog, Monet
    and new kitten Monique -- the cats.

8. I'm happy about my amazing life as an artist.

9. I'm happy that I live in Toronto. I love our city and 
       our neighbourhood.

10. I'm happy I belong to supportive art groups -- The Heliconian, and
      The Don Valley Art Club.

11. I'm happy that we can enjoy our wonderful walks by the water
     (please say no to the Billy Bishop airport expansion.)

12.  You! Thank you for everything!!!

Have a loving your life day!
