Personally, if you threw me a snuggie and put in a movie..I'd call that a date.
That is how simple I am.
I find happiness is the most normal, almost ridiculous things...like the 10 buck salad I made for myself last night...and took pictures of..
hey, if I did not take a picture..how would you know how to make it?
lettuce, duh...Mango Papaya Salsa from Trader Joes...AMAZING!...Avocado (earth's butter)...white corn (I used defrosted frozen and will till we have a crop in the backyard!)...Fresh Cilantro and Onion (chopped)
That is it.
No, I do not use dressing...Just toss these ingredients and add a little salt & pepper....so happy! {I was equally happy with the color palette..}
Now, I do not find happiness in cleaning the bathrooms.
I live with boys.
Enough said..but I do find happiness when I am cleaning the bathroom and find this on the messy soap dispenser:
and I feel happiness when I hear the UPS truck slow down in front of my home sweet home and deliver a box of paper...eek!
and happiness is having friendships that were created between the lines of the internet!
today...go out, or stay in..and find happiness. It is there. You may have to adjust your focus...but it is there.
I promise.
"Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you" Proverbs 4:25
“We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”Frederick Keonig
Awesome point - " find happiness. It is there. You may have to adjust your focus...but it is there." Followed well by the best adjustor there is - The Word of God.Thank you for the blessed encouragement - here and at Internet Cafe Devotions. And GREAT point in your previous post as well. A sweet senior in my life has to go in for regular checkups twice a year - which usually includes painful treatments of little skin cancers. NOT fun. Definitely - WEAR sunscreen! :) Thanks for a lovely visit on this chilly but sweet Word-Filled Wednesday.

Amazing art piece. Please share the paper you used around the sides. The wording is wonderful. If it is something you made yourself, would you be willing to sell?!?

I just found happiness in the little heart you found in your dirty bathroom...not so much in the heart itself, but in the fact that you stopped cleaning the bathroom to run and get your camera to take a picture of it before you cleaned it! Cause I can see the whole thing playing out! And that made me happy =]
Thanks for sharing that friend!

Love your art and inspiration. I, too, scrubbed boys' bathrooms today, and realized that I found happiness in that the job is done! Looking forward to making art with you at Grove's.
