happiness is…

December 19, 2011 by Ella

Hello my sweet friends!
I hope you’ve had a great weekend ~ filled with coziness and love.

.

Here’s what happiness is to me right now:

– gingerbread GIRL cookies my girl decorated

– just enough snow to shout with excitement

– having the last appliance installed in our new kitchen

– scent of fresh pine and clementines

– cashmere socks ~ it’s like walking on a cloud (and getting them for $6 is living on cloud 9 ;)

– a cozy house party with friends : grownups and kids together ~ why not? ;)

– a few first steps in mending another friendship

– avoiding shopping malls

– warm blankets

– cracking the seal on a home made liqueur and savouring its every depth of rich flavour

– having a cozy place to come home to

– and getting wrapped by the arms of a loving man when I’m having a breakdown

yes, there you have it…  I suppose the Holidays wouldn’t be the Holidays if there wasn’t a little drama to them…

.

I do hope you’re having a lovely Christmas Season with your loved ones ~ it’s always a good reminder to focus on what’s really important in our lives right now. I do hope you’re embraced by lots of joy and happiness in your life and are treating yourself with a little love as well…

Please share by finishing this sentence in your own words:

Right now for me,  happiness is….

.

    Happiness is knowing that I only have 2 more days of work before I get to go home to family for 5 weeks! I’m clinging to that so fiercely.. It’s basically all that’s keeping me going at this point…

    is…taking it slow and easy.
    mending friendships and breaking down, balanced with cashmere socks and lovely scents? It sounds a whole lot like real life. ;)
