It’s Saturday, the day we take a moment to do something which brings us happiness. The moment could be spent in quiet, with a friend, with a good book, in your garden, with your caree, with another family member.
I am happy when I see one of the garden photos from our Facebook fans. I’ve included a photo with this post. I am happy.
And, then tell us. How will you be happy today?
Happiness for me is warmth of friends and family surrounded close. And time set aside for relaxing quiet moments with a notebook and cup of warm tea. In the outdoors of flowers, waterfall, mountains or just a pretty park setting. Beautiful birds soaring over head….. To encirlce my thoughts and feelings then lay them out on the paper. Closing my eyes to remember all the good times spent with my parents….. and my child as he was growing up….. this breeze feels so good as it sweeps through my hair and across my face! Life is good!!
deb, that sounds so beautiful …. I can feel the happiness through the screen…what a nice post…thanks for sharing
Thank you Donna.
I love to vent…. lol use to alot, then got away from it………. But miss it! 
I just might start again. 
Thank you.
Since I stopped working a year ago I made a choice to give up what I referred to as my “girly” indulgences. I always got manicures and pedicures faithfully every two weeks when working. I dont miss the manicures to be honest I dont miss the pedicures in the winter when wearing boots, and closed shoes but I will admit I do like to get them in the summertime when it is sandal weather. I hate wasting money on these silly things now though. I finally sat myself down yesterday and said your not wasting money by treating yourself to something for yourself. So Im HAPPY to say!!..I got a pedicure this morning….it got me away for a while…the warm water was so comforting….the massage chair was so relaxing….Im sure it will last me for several weeks as well so I will have pretty feet in my sandals. I know it sounds silly but something so small can be relaxing and made me smile and was so not a waste of money at all!!….I know times are hard…we feel it a bit since I stopped working…but sometimes you just need to WASTE money in a positive way!!! now you all go and make your appointments and pick a pretty color!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have spent the afternoon watching special shows on tv about New York, all the different wonderful parks they have…and I looked for and found my friend in each one, in the beauty and joy they bring to others….

We have a mocking bird that has decided one of the trees in our front yard is his new home. He has spurred so many happy conversations among all of us. If I open my mother’s front window, she can enjoy his “talking” too.
It has been a difficult week and day, but there have been good moments as well. The perennials around our new home are coming out one at a time. Since I don’t know the names of a lot of the flowers, it has been a joy seeing new beautiful flowers popping out. It is like little gifts from God. Recently a new big beautiful purple flower has appeared on the climbing plant on the side of the house.
So I did take time today to briefly reexamine and enjoy my flowers. I also enjoyed the sunshine earlier today and now the gentle rain that I hear. Earlier I did take some time to do a little reading and watch a movie. I am enjoying some quiet time now after helping my husband to bed.
