Things that make me happy right now

Well, I suppose that the week 2 post is kinda moot right now since it should have been months ago, so how about a happy thing right now. This...

Yes, I know...horrible web cam photo, but this little tag of paper has been on my computer for a long time.  It was on a printed on a gift bag I received from a friend at the Komen 3-day walk and I love, love, love this quote.  A good reminder for all of us I think! This will end up on a scrapbook page one of these day, I just know it!

Spontaneity

Okay, yes, I am posting a photo of a ratty piece of paper.  Actually I tore this off of I don't know what a while back, because I thought it was a neat "quote".  Apparently I stuck it in my purse I don't know when and it actually fell out of my purse yesterday!  Yesterday was one of "THOSE" days when everything seemed to change from the plans I had made.  I am not always so good accepting change.  I think this little piece of paper was a sign.

Befriend Spontaneity.  Embrace Change.

I'll work on it!

This is going to have to be a used scrapbook page.  (If I don't change my mind.)

A Little Creative Inspiration

 

I got this at "Art Day" for children at one of our local libraries.  I don't know where they found it, but it's my new creative inspiration! Love this!

LAUGH .

A friend of mine had this up in her office.  Love it!  LAUGH TODAY!

Laugh because it contains no calories.

Laugh because it hides wrinkles.

Laugh because it's a law of attraction.

Laugh because babies think it's a toy

Laugh because it might heal the world.

Laugh because it lengthens your life.

Laugh because dogs wish they could.

Laugh because it flattens your stomach.

Laugh because drama queens are boring.

Laugh because it probably makes plants grow.

Laugh because it puts politics in perspective.

Laugh because no batteries are required.

LAUGH OUT LOUD SO YOU CAN SHARE IT!

What is Your BLISS?

Just this very moment I came across this quote in my stash of quotes I love, so I thought it would be great for this weeks "I Love That" quotes that inspire.

Follow your Bliss. When you are no longer compelled by the desire or fear-when you simply follow your bliss- doors will open where you thought there would be no doors- and the world will step in and help.        Joseph Campbell

So..what's your bliss?  Lately mine has included dark chocolate ice cream, however.... I truly hope that my true bliss is a bit more "intellectually deep" than that.  Blissful is for me is.....well, , just happy.  The creative relaxation that comes from scrapbooking, thumbing through lovely papers and just absorbing beautiful colors, patterns and textures. Looking through photographs and remembering the fun memories that go along with them.  Bliss for me is listening to my son laugh that really deep, silly belly laugh that comes when he's tickled.  Bliss for me is knowing I have a wonderful family.  Oddly enough, I also get a good dose of "bliss" when I complete an organizing project and things are neatly put in their special place. (with a cute and colorful label or tag of course.) Okay, that may be a bit more "compulsive" than "blissful", but you get what I mean.  So what's your bliss?  I'm thinking this this will make a great scrapbook page or now i'm thnking a bliss-ful mini album.  Good project for this weekend!
