Not much explanation needed here. One happy Dallin, which makes me one happy Alissa.

My Happy Heart

So tonight I have a happy heart for many reasons.

I went to a holiday concert and got that zing of excitement for this time of year. The orchestra and symphony played and sang the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah and it gave me chills to stand and hear it--it does every time. The orchestra also played a Canadian Brass Christmas medley with those lovely old traditional tunes: Ding Dong! Merrily on High, I Saw Three Ships, and Here We Come A Wassailing (I want to frolic in snow like the March girls and throw songballs at Laurie whenever I hear that one!).

I have a happy heart because I finished my first semester of grad school!

I have a happy heart because I get to go home soon!

And best of all, I have a happy heart because today I chose to be creative and it had nothing to do with school or a grade. My creative urge had no deadline and no set parameters. I was creative purely for the sweet joy it gives me. I made fifteen Christmas cards Liezel style and enjoyed every minute of the process. The good news is I have more creative juices flowing and time to put ideas on paper--THAT gives me a happy heart too!
