“Let go of those who bring you down and surround yourself with those who bring out the best in you. ” ~ unknown

Today’s quote is quite fitting. These women bring out the best in me. Here, the girls of the to-be-named chapter of the Happiness Project met for the first time today (Deb Chenault, Erin Chandler, Stacy Yelton and – in the shoes – me). We talked a lot, ate even more, and when we thought we couldn’t possibly have more fun, the next generation arrived (below). Later this month Erin stars in August: Osage County at the Guignol Theater. These kids are her children, mostly, in the play. Sweet and engaging, they were a delight to meet. It was, in fact, a splendid day from beginning to end. Tell me again how I got so lucky?

Love you most.
