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

Quote of the Week: Happy

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

~ John Lennon

Quote of the Week

"We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection."

"What can I do with my happiness... I want to kneel as it falls over me like rain, gather it up with lace and silk, and press it over myself again. "

~Anais Nin

Quote of the Week:

"Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder...”

~Henry David Thoreau
