happiness is… being together

February 20, 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.

Hello my friends! What a lovely weekend this was….. ;) I hope you enjoyed yours as well!

We had a Family Day long weekend ~ and it certainly was filled with family togetherness. It’s a lovely concept Family Day, isn’t it? It really was wrapped up in family togetherness and it really was happiness….

This is what happiness is…. (from over the weekend)

  • warm sunny days in February
  • a long weekend
  • togetherness
  • laughter
  • silly car games that we make up that are really fun
  • my girl singing lady gaga in the back seat – ok, that made me chuckle even right now as I write this. lol
  • Hot Chocolate Festival
  • getting lost on our way but laughing through the chaos
  • a hike, hot chocolate (of course), live music an dancing
  • playing shadow tag (the photo above – the only one of us three together)
  • coming home
  • baking a quick batch of scones from scratch
  • realizing gluten free and vegan baking is easier than regular baking. seriously.
  • eating our goodies and having tea over Funniest Home Videos
  • still laughing at the chihuahua wee wee clip – hilarious!!!
  • realizing how lucky I am to have it all
  • and lately this song : Je Veux by Zaz – (too bad youtube blocked the embedding so I can’t share it with you here) here are the lyrics and the english translation for it ~ just beautiful

What is making you happy right now?

is it something fun from the weekend?

Hope you had a great Family Day and President’s Day. xo

    good old comforting soup makes me happy right now. it’s been hitting the spot on these cold damp february days.

    i can agree with many things on your list, perhaps the most… coming home. there’s nothing like it.
