My friend Julie wrote yesterday morning "Celebrate what's right with the world." and I naturally turned that into "Happy". Happy moments, happy things... happy faces. Not a bad way to spend your day... watching closely for Goodliness.
rollerskates
happy home fragrances (this one I just call 'the den potion', and it has clary sage for creativity cedar and geranium for harmony and balance lavender for peace and bergamot for happiness) I just put a few drops of the blend in water at the top of the burner
busy birdfeeders
happy, laughing children
singin' in the bathtub
just reading
bits of wintry sunshine
kneading
happy, made-up songs. that feature kerplunk!
chopping...
which is really about happily mastering skills and feeling competent and confident
i like that - celebrate what's RIGHT...so easy to focus the lens elsewhere. um...TEA...books on CD...comfy couches, winter sunshine in the windows, another day to rest and not have to be anywhere, HEAT, hot water bottles, hot baths, and more tea. and a warm cat. and snuggly kids...right, right, right.
sounds like a wonderful day - what a great idea, to look for and celebrate the happiness for a whole day. Will definitely be putting that one on our to do list!
I read your words (loved the pictures), followed the link, listened to the words, and they resonated ALL THE WAY through. It is Exactly how I try to live my days, and it is Exactly how I have made my way through darkness. So, Yes, and ditto, and so true! And, Thank You as always, dear sunshine bringer. :)
That's what I like to see, a focus on the positive and the good and the right. So many people these days seem to have their focus stuck on just the opposite. Why? When there is so much goodness and beauty in the world? I much prefer HAPPY!
sounds like a lovely weekend!
