Happiness Is...

I stole a moment and sifted through photos–subconscious procrastination–but, I'm glad I did. As the stress of the day dissolved, I took note the huge blessings I take for granted.

Happiness settled in.

The rest of the blog changed, now–its all about me.

(so says my baseball cap~thank you, Jamie)

It's what makes me happy. Besides the therapudic sharing of happy thoughts, I hope it inspires a moment of zen to start your weekend, and a reminder to share things that make you happy with the important people in your life, it might just turn their day around.

Spread the love & welcome, Mr. Weekend!

My happiness is...

long tables full of friends...

a night at the opera

working with great people...

these creatures...

laughing with Mona...
a gorgeous place to escape...
my 90 lb. lap dog and a good cab on a chilly night...

laughing at myself...

(yep, that's me with fingers super-glued together. It happens)

dots!

(thanks, hillary)

snow in Dallas...

Dad's weird wardrobe habits...

provoking reads...

family...

making a meal at home...

SNOWMOBILING!!

(ridiculous outfit included)

my studio...

a roaring fireplace...

...and so much more.

Happy Friday!

P.S. It's now Saturday and as I sit having my happy little toes prettied,

my (always reliable) ELLE magazine reports that,

"studies show that each happy person you know increases

your chances of being happy by 9%."

So as I'm getting ready for a night with friends–it's an even better reason to smile, and make smile!
