little things i love.

A hike in the Blue Hills.
(snapshot from a gorgeous hike this weekend)
  • the smell of pine trees.
  • waking up in the morning and immediately putting on soft, thick socks.
  • picking simon up from the airport when he's been gone for a few days.
  • graham cracker crusts.
  • playing holiday music while i clean.
  • the sound of soup bubbling on the stove.

what little things made you happy today? i'd love to hear!

  1. Oh, I know how you feel! I recently got a long-hoped-for job at a coffee shop, and it ended up being completely terrible and I quit after 6 weeks. Not sure if your situation is similar, but I understand the disappointment after expecting something wonderful...

  5. The smell of pine immediately makes me think of Christmas and that's always a good thing :)

    Sorry to hear about your job not working out. But I'm sure something else will come along.

    What's making me happy today: knowing that I have three days left and I will have successfully completed my first year of university :) It feels like a massive achievement.

  8. Things that make me happy are...
    when I'm working and I get into that place with my photography or collages or books - especially when I'm cutting lots of paper

    sunshine - it's an unusually good November in Sweden since I've seen the sun every day so far, even though we only get a few hours of daylight

    hugs

    art

    the colour yellow

    my new shoes! non-leather, high-heeled, Lady Gaga style shoes which I found yesterday and that actually aren't uncomfortable

    I also really like to vacuum if I've spilled rice (uncooked) on the floor! :D I like how it rattles and I feel really efficient.
