Why I smiled…

  • Just me, my space heater, old library books, and my laptop. Writing away productively for hours.
  • Cozy Sunday brunch
  • Scented candles that are always burning
  • Turning my heat up to 78 degrees (just for a bit!)
  • Apple cider
  • Thanksgiving groceries
  • Going to fancy balls in sexy shoes
  • New York skyline at night
  • A quiet prayer in the dark
  • Contentment during utter confusion and instability
  • A choir concert filled with nostalgia
  • An unexpected friend request
  • Buying suits with a favorite young cousin and watching him suddenly look all grown up.

  1. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    You don’t need a reason to smile – the world needs more smilers today than ever!

  2. Sounds so delicious! All of it.

    I’m suffering from writer’s block :( I want to write and I cant.

  3. “Going to fancy balls in sexy shoes”

    Did I hear it right ?

  4. Haleem: Yes, blessed with so many good things – perhaps a smile should be everpresent!

    Muse: Perhaps a pumpkin latte will do the trick? It works for me!

    Mystic: Oh yes you did! Every girl needs to attend a Ball now and then!

  5. Sounds like ecstasy!

  6. You are right mskoonj. Its a blessing to be reminded, that a normal weekend, too, is ecstasy. Writing the things that make me happy down, help me so much in seeing the incredible ease and good in my life.
