happiness is…

April 30, 2012 by Ella

:: happiness is… a lovely way to start the week with a positive reflection of what brings happiness to you right now. positive thinking on a monday morning ~ there’s no better way to start the week. i hope you will join me.

Happiness is…

friendship
tackling chores over the weekend
getting a good chunk of yard work done
(but there’s still lots to be done)
realizing how gardening is such a workout
that is a good thing ;)
plus just being in all that fresh air is invigorating
energizing

seeing my friend again (an old neighbour who moved away)
and catching up
watching our kids play out in the yard
there was digging for treasure, playing ‘trees’
and our first bonfire of the season was lit
really only to warm up  at daytime
but marshmallows were made
and that cottage feel at home was born
then we picked things up again once the kids were in bed
and stayed up late with our friends
just talking the night away
ps. I just realized through the photos that we totally
dressed in same tones as though we’d plan it ;)

sunday we started with fluffy spelt pancakes
then went straight into yard work
my daughter was very busy nearby
collecting sticks
for dogs
which she then sold in her
‘dog-stick shop’ : her first business!
calling out into the street
‘dog sticks for sale’!
what an entrepreneurial mind she already has ;)
she added dandelion flowers to it
when I told her not everyone has dogs
this was of course, all her own idea ;)
cuteeee! she made 2 sales ;)

i must add that happiness
for me lately is really getting into
a working out mood!
I am on a roll (to beat my rolls) lol
and just seriously doing it
dumpbells, cardio,
even just dancing…..

i am feeling amazing
kind-of-fit
beautiful and strong….

oh so strong!

I’m no beauty queen, I’m just beautiful me!
You’ve got every right
To a beautiful life!

These of course are lyrics to the lovely song ‘Who says’ by Selena Gomez…. a nice tune, I think to kick of this lovely Monday morning ;) xo Wishing you a fantastic week ahead!!!


.

So my friends, what is making you happy right now?

    Love the doggie sticks for sale! So cute! I did the indoor work this weekend, while my husband handled the outdoor stuff. My daughter’s room took me ALL DAY to clean and organize on Sunday. Is the happiness in the doing, or the getting done?

    Happiness for me this past weekend was flying down to DC to spend one last weekend with my sister before she moves home

    exploring nature in different parts of the world

    amazing vegan eats in dc

    then coming home to my love

    and planting my seeds for the upcoming summer garden
