happiness is...

Today, despite its faults and mine I want to focus on the happy things in life. 

having an omelette and coffee breakfast 

spending quality time reading life giving words

my puppy lying in a ray of sunshine

laughter

fresh fruit and flowers

music that revives me and gently pushes me through the day

the snow on my roof

fragrant candles

packages in the mail

daydreaming

milkshakes

soccer games (to play or watch)

inspiring photographs

a pile full of new books

vintage bicycles

the farmer's market

Starbucks' chai tea latte

giant hugs from my husband

new shoes

good conversation, preferably over coffee or wine

catching up with friends (perhaps in conjunction with the aforementioned conversation)

my favorite jeans

comfy sweaters

a crackling fire

fresh herbs

ice cream in a waffle cone

springtime walks

driving with the windows down

authenticity

a really good sale

a new haircut

cookbooks

mustard yellow

runner's high

listening to the waves crash on the beach

climbing trees

a really good outfit

coming home

Parisian streets

fresh bread

crepes with banana and nutella

playing in the rain

bookstores

quality films

courtyards

Steelers football

pumpkin orange

chocolate brown

dark chocolate

stilettos

caesar salad

a really cold Coke

basil

feta cheese

cobblestone streets

focusing on the good things
