happiness is:

two kinds of ice cream

writing a book

a perfect cup of tea

letter writing

colors

swan song

different color nail polishes

daisies

knitting

birthday gifts

lists

i notice i often think, "i wish i had my new laptop now." "i wish i had a canon 5d". 

today, i am going to be grateful for what i have and not waste it wishing for what i do not have. and i notice that it really is the simplest things that make me happy, and cause me to realize how blessed i am. if only i realized this more often!
