If You're Happy And You Know It...

When I was just a little school girl, I used to sing "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands. If you're happy and you know it clap your hands. If you're happy and you know it and you'd really like to show it; if you're happy and you know it clap your hands." This same mission to show happiness works wonders in a marriage. Rueben made me extremely happy today, and I made sure to show it and tell him. He paid my director and musicians so we could shoot a music video this afternoon near Strawberry Fields, Central Park, New York City. If not for his help, the project would have been indefinitely on hold. It would have taken me months to get the money together. He did it in days. He is amazing and I am so happy to have him. Instead of clapping your hands, tell your man! Or tell your WOman. Express your happiness and gratitude.

  1. This is a great post. It got me to thinking about how it can be so easy complain and point out all the things your partner does wrong all the while neglecting to express gratitude and appreciation. I am definitely going to work on doing more of the latter.
