'Most folks
are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.' -
Abraham Lincoln
'Being
happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect.
It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.' -
Gerard Way
'Each
morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to
make me happy or unhappy today. I can
choose which it shall be. Yesterday is
dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I
have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.' -
Groucho Marx
Happiness
is...
Laughing...
laughing so hard tears are running down my face.
Time spent
with family.
A smile.
Holding
hands.
A walk with
a friend.
Exploring a
new place.
Taking
pictures.
Finding a
pair of jeans that fit.
A good book
enjoyed in the quiet of the early morning.
Kind words
that were unexpected.
Flowers
that brighten a room.
Tiramisu.
My
daughter's parakeet running around the house tweeting.
Walking
barefoot, feeling the ground beneath my feet.
Knowing warmer
weather will be here soon...
I am going to be away from my computer for a
little while enjoying some family time.
I will be back soon...
Today I am joining Texture Tuesday. I used Kim Klassen's preset chocolate and her texture waterfront7_magic on both my
images.
Thank you for stopping by!
Have a great day!
Michelle
