SIX LITTLE THINGS I'M HAPPY ABOUT

Pinkerbell tagged me. Forthwith, six little things I'm happy about...

1. the sun rising into a porcelain blue sky, its rays reflecting off the feathers of a hundred winging geese

2. a mug of hot, sweet tea and a warm croissant drizzled with honey

3. a poem by Hafiz that speaks of life as a rowdy and joyful parade

4. being absolutely sure that I am loved

5. a vase of small, pink roses that survived the frost

6. waking this morning still able to see and hear and walk and smile

Gratitude for the things that enter into our lives is what makes the magic.

Thank You

It's interesting that the things you're happy about are mostly things money can't buy! You simply find the beautiful in the world.

I agree with money being the last thing to bring us true happiness.
Wonderful beach shot!

It's the little things that make life so great. But you know that!

Flea said...

And I thought California is always hot and sunny?

It all resonates.

dave, I so agree! and thank you -

Barbara - I've never had much money and it's hardly ever seemed to matter

thanks, meggie - that was a fabulous trip!

ruth - I've always thought so, too!

Flea - I was in Oregon and the northern part is often like Washington State - cool and rainy!

ah, thank you HHB. I thought it might...

Brian - this was a delightful link - thanks for sharing! I'll go back to read there often

Hey,

I've only just got a chance to come over and see what you did with the challenge. What a lovely collection of happy things, especially the last one. We forget sometimes how lucky we are!
