Joy in the Little Things

 The tiniest, simplest moments create joy.

Happies:

little birdies all wet and puffed up from the rain
tomato blossoms!
my face in kitty fur
jazz music with my love, on the grass on a cool evening
baby cardinals chirping
pumpkin chocolate chip bread
someone loving my art
sewing on the porch on a sunny afternoon
a spontaneous dinner out instead of cooking
the scent of feathers, of a rose surrounded by rose hips, and of lavender soap

:)

Joy in the Little Things

 The tiniest, simplest moments create joy.

I have to admit that this post is a struggle this week, but here goes...


This weekend's happies included:

budgies bathing in a lettuce leaf
fresh peaches
getting cards via snail mail
finishing a project (or part of one)
lavender seedlings that already smell wonderful
someone going vegan because of knowing me
people dancing in rain
playing hide and seek with my kitty

Joy in the Little Things

 The tiniest, simplest moments create joy.

This weekend's happies included:

a yellow feather
a princess-themed birthday party
wispy, flat clouds in a pale blue sky
loving someone
being loved
sidewalk-side tomato plants bearing tiny "take me" signs
cool mornings
family
blueberry pancakes

Joy In the Little Things

Joy is making your own, with the help of the warm spring sunshine.


Making hibiscus sun tea.


Drying oregano from the garden.


Joy is hyacinths in three colors, heavy with sweet, musky scent.






Joy is noticing an explosion of sprouts of my favorite flower, Lily of the Valley- can't wait until they bloom!
