Five Happy Things
I very much appreciate and enjoy the focus that looking for life's small and not-so-small happy things brings to my daily life. And at this time of year here along the coast, I don't really have to look very far to encounter happy things - so here we go:
Five Happy Things
1) This sign, which I saw for sale recently at a pop-up boutique I walked by, and stopped to purchase. Firstly, it was handmade by the seller, who I enjoyed chatting with. Secondly, I could visualize exactly where I would place it in my home - on the bookcase in my home office, where I'd be able to see it each day. And thirdly, it is 100% correct in it's statement - whether I'm gazing at it, paddling atop it, walking alongside it, or gazing at it while sipping or eating, life always feels a bit easier afterwards.
2) This adorable jalopy, which I trailed recently while driving through Laguna Beach.
3) These July 4th tees, which I picked up recently at Target for my soon-to-be-here granddaughters, for just $7.00 each. And the necklaces, from The Dollar Store, were just $1.25 each.
The 4th of July here where I live is wild fun. Our day will begin with a massive water fight over at the harbor, a long tradition here, transition to swimming at our HOA pool, then a BBQ back here at home, and end, finally, with a fireworks show that we can either watch from our balcony, or walk over to enjoy, depending on the energy level our granddaughters still have by nightfall!
4) This view, which is what greets me when I get to the end of the beach trail I/we walk multiple times a week from our home. Including today. 😊
5) This wine, the hands down favorite of everyone at the recent wine tasting event we held. It was deemed the perfect Chardonnay by most everyone, and at $32 a bottle, is definitely affordable as compared to other high end Chardonnay's.
I'm currently hard at work trying to identify a boxed wine - a Malbec - that was also a crowd favorite. It was poured into generic bottles for judging, so there is no label on the bottle I brought home, just a bare bones competition label. But, I expect it to be very reasonably priced once we determine who produced it, because boxed wine 😊, and I'll be sure to share that here as well!

ReplyDeleteWell, you did better than me, Cindy! I have been distracted from my walks the last two weeks, my fault entirely. Nicely though, I have a walking date with a girlfriend tomorrow, which I'm very much looking forward to.
