On a beautiful evening this week I boiled some water and when I opened my packet of tea it said this…
For some reason, these words seemed so true and wonderful to me. Happiness really is being content in your life. I am lucky to be one of those people who feels truly content. For me, life has the perfect balance of love and adventure. And, while I dearly miss my friends and family back in Illinois and Michigan, I know that they love the adventures that I am having for myself. My wanderlust and need to fill my life with adventures is just part of my genetic makeup.
The above picture shows a bit of my contentment with life. My gardening tools stacked on the side of the house with rain boots and the flowers that Cody picked and placed in a vase for me. The little things in life really cause me to feel very inspired and very loved.
Finally, I leave you all with this snapshot. I took it while walking Specks early one morning. The sun was rising over the mountains and the whole channel was bathed in color. The only noise I could hear was the gulls down by the waters edge. It was a beautiful moment and I was lucky to capture it on my camera. I hope everyone gets to experience a moment like this throughout their week.

ReplyDeleteI try to appreciate all the little things in life... Nature and children in particular make me smile! :-)
Nature and children are two of my favorites as well. Both are wonderfully innocent and unspoiled. And, both are an adventure in their own ways ;)
