one piece of happy

hello

an invitation has been extended to you...
today
in this moment

in this moment
find one piece of your journey that brings you happiness
find one piece, even if it is small or simple or something only you know,
find it inside you

and then,
if you want to accept,
you could sit inside this happiness...

you could sit inside this happiness and allow it to surround you with all that you need today...

in this moment

in this moment
allow the space around your heart to fill with the joy that lives inside your world...

Oh my goodness! I was in tears before I was half way through this.

I was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer a little over a year ago and my wife found your Blog for me to read. Your words and photos really move and inspire me to keep on keepin on. Keep up the good work and thanks for bearing a piece of your soul for the world. I am inspired to get up and face what I am given as each new day dawns.

Sincerely, Mr. Tracy Luegge.

today i...
really did nothing!
so i'm claiming my happy moment as when i was snuggled up with the kids trying to read a story, but kicking and tickling and fighting over books ensued and we quit...

This morning I was depressed, but then I managed to find some beautiful frost in the freezing fog, and snapped some photos until my fingers started to hurt. Now I am more content. Sometimes, it's as simple as that for me.

i'm sitting here smiling...cause in this moment...reading these amazing words...i feel like a cat who just got a cup full of cream...

this reminded me of a phrase i used to repeat to myself from a book 'unconditional love'...breathe in the space around your heart...xx

~ thank you ~ for extending the invitation to reflect on happiness for a moment.
It's important to take time out each day (many times I think) to pause for a moment like this.

Reading this post the other day gave me the final kick in the pants that I needed to start my own blog:) Thanks for the invitation!

If I can influence just one person the way you manage to, I will be so happy!

Hugs!

Liz, you haven't posted in a few days, so I've tagged you in a "photo meme challenge." If you play, here are the rules:

1. Open your fourth folder.
2. Post the fourth photo in the fourth folder. No exceptions.
3. Tag four more people.
4. Write about it in a post.

Have fun!
