Things to be happy about

I got this forwarded in an email, and thought they were so delightful that I couldn’t hep but share it.  Even though not specifically art-related, some of these do bring vivid word pictured to mind do they not?  May these happy thoughts inspire you :

  • the feel of a rug under bare feet
  • a lake catching the last flecks of sunlight coming in over the pines
  • shadows cast by shutters against shiny white walls
  • sweet fresh corn on the cob
  • seeing the moon rise
  • pajamas at breakfast
  • brand-new notebooks
  • a rich spiced chocolate drink
  • red-carpet treatment
  • a boat tour to see picturesque little villages
  • fruits to smell:  early apples,  fresh strawberries
  • the delicious smell of cooking food and the hustle and bustle of the preparation
  • driving under an overpass during a storm
  • fresh muffins
  • coffee steeped with cinnamon sticks and then iced
  • eight hours of sleep
  • paintboxes
  • stickpins
  • stilt-legged wharves
  • writing a screenplay
  • making a stew or soup on a cold snowy day
  • flickering gaslights
  • lakeside roads with farm stands offering pumpkins, pears and other fruits and vegetables
  • passing notes in church
  • competence
  • dim, low-hanging factory lamps
  • smooth, muscular arms
  • snorkeling
  • cinnamon coffeecake
  • dinner with laughter
  • knowing there will be many surprises in the future!
