-Thomas Merton
Happiness is...
- fresh, hot coffee in the morning
- cuddling with the boy you care so much about :)
- breakfasts with friends you wouldn't trade for the world
- accomplishing work ahead of time
- learning something while doing said work!
- email- oh, the glory that is technology.
- cozy hoodies
- lilac-scented candles...I personally believe heaven smells like lilacs :)
- the anticipation of vacation
- a God who cared so much about me He became a tiny, helpless baby- and then sacrificed Himself for me
- fluffy, cozy bedclothes
- the Mitford series, by Jan Karon
- kindred spirits
The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.
- Henry David Thoreau
"What more could he have asked of this life? A job to do, a warm home filled with intoxicating smells, a dog of his own, a growing boy, and all of it covered by the astonishing facts of the nativity."
-Fr. Tim, A Light in the Window by Jan Karon
