Thank you notes

Being happy isn’t so much about the big, extraordinary events in our lives, it happens when we recognize all of the little ordinary things that make us smile. The thank you notes category is all about appreciating the little things that make us smile every day and expressing gratitude for them.

Can you believe it’s almost Thanksgiving? This week gave me some pretty great things for which to be thankful. Thank you Mother Nature for another gorgeous fall day. It’s unreal to be eating lunch outside–and actually sweating a little–in mid-November. The wrinkles on my forehead aren’t just old age; I’m actually squinting into the bright November … [Read more…]

Last Tuesday I asked you to share some of the things that bring you joy. I know I have much to be happy about. Here’s just a sampling. Friday morning started out great with my daily walk in Kauai. This time I counteracted all that healthy activity with a delicious pumpkin macadamia muffin. (Hey, I worked hard for … [Read more…]

It’s going to be hard to limit myself to a manageable number of favorites this week. I told myself I’d choose a picture a day, but I may have to stretch that to two in some cases. Friday: On our way to Kauai. I felt it was fitting to read a book about beach life … [Read more…]

How can it be Friday again already? This week flew by. What’s that saying, “Time flies when you’re having fun.” I must have been having a lot of fun! It started Friday evening when we headed up for another weekend at Hawkes Landing. The foliage over Guardsman’s Pass was even more vibrant than last week. The weather was overcast and raining … [Read more…]

Pure joy

What a wonderful week this has been for me. I hope yours has been happy too. We started out by driving to Hawkes Landing in the rain. Normally, I’d want some sunshine for our weekend, but it’s been so dry lately, the rain was a welcome relief–and the clouds made for a beautiful drive. Every time … [Read more…]
