But then I consider that home is what makes me happy. Seeing the leaves start to turn and feeling the cooler air of fall makes me giddy, and that deep deep blue of the sky shortly after the sun goes down thrills me. My husband talking to our dogs makes me smile, and piddling in my craft room makes me content. Thank you for sharing that quote, and showing that there are others out there who feel this way.The Junque Seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606503569660307300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-347150067942597962016-10-13T18:13:15.438-07:002016-10-13T18:13:15.438-07:00It really is all about the little things.

The sunshine just beams from this post.<br />I think when we are younger, we are busy with life and children, but as we grow older, we are able to slow down a little and have the time to appreciate the little things in life.<br />Do you know, one of the things which makes me smile is.... I think this will surprise you. I feel happy when I walk past a coffee shop and the smell of coffee permeates the air. Of course there are a hundred other things which make me happy, but right at this very moment, it is the smell of coffee.... I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I have just made a coffee using freshly ground coffee.<br />Have a happy day.<br />Best Wishes<br />Daphne<br />Ivy, Phyllis and Me!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09988502694544216304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-28285483296102683882016-10-12T23:39:39.596-07:002016-10-12T23:39:39.596-07:00It´s a lovely time right now...autumn, stillness, ...It´s a lovely time right now...autumn, stillness, beautiful colours and you have time to be inside with a good book!

It's the little things that make me happy: a bunny nibbling in our garden, deer wandering through the backyard, sunlight streaming through the trees, a spider web gleaming in the sunshine after a rain, the little chipmunk scooting back and forth across our deck storing up nuts for winter, a cup of tea, FaceTime with the grandkids. That's what makes me happy :)Rhondihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15684060974095411313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-51779376864838851982016-10-12T11:35:14.798-07:002016-10-12T11:35:14.798-07:00I find happiness truly in the silliest most little...I find happiness truly in the silliest most little things.
