The sky is so blue and the clouds just float like cotton today. I took Elle for a walk this afternoon and it was the prettiest day we've had in awhile, especially for July. I was thinking how happy I am right now... just a contentness I guess. Compared to a few years ago when it seemed like what I was writing was all exclamation points and high emotion, right now I just feel happily quiet. It's not just in my writing, it also is in keeping life more simple. I'm not buying things all the time or wishing for more. I would actually like life to become more simple. Life is really about love and relationships, not things and prestige. It's about being happy inside yourself-- just walking down a little path and loving every second of it because the sun is shining, the shadows are cool and the air is fresh. That is happiness.

I really like you're picture and story. I love little things-so important for children-learn to be happy with little things. I have one daughter(12) and she already can see the things that makes us happy: love, homemade, attention, kindness. And they're almost for free! Wishing you a great weekend already with heart&soul from Sil.
Amen, Sister!
I went on a hike today in the woods and it made me remember your post here.It rained most of the morning,but it didn't take anything away from the beauty or how peaceful it was.The streams were running stronger and i found a lonely funnel shaped mushroom which was filled to the top with fresh rainwater,which in itself,was worth the trip!
The sun finally poked through the clouds,as it always does! :)
I totally agree!
