Today’s happiness is brought to you by a perfect blue sky on a gorgeous, sunny, first day of fall! I absolutely love this time of year, and it’s particularly special when autumn begins with such beautiful weather. I haven’t yet noticed the leaves beginning [continue reading…]
Today’s happiness is brought to you by a bowl of bruised, battered, and rather sorry-looking… but oh, so very sweet and delicious… green grapes. (What can I say? Fruit makes me happy!) Seriously, these were quite possibly the sweetest [continue reading…]
Before getting on with gratitude… today’s happiness is brought to you by a fun little book I’ve had since childhood. A friend shared something on Facebook about Ogden Nash that reminded me of the book, which is called [continue reading…]
Today’s happiness is brought to you by my cozy blue knit slippers and just what they represent: an unscheduled “me” Saturday where I was able to sleep LATE, cuddle with the cats, take my time with coffee and breakfast (is it my imagination, or [continue reading…]
My choice for today’s Photo Friday “Home” prompt isn’t actually a picture of my home, but rather a remarkable building fondly known as “Canada House” which is located not all that far from our place in Windsor. As you can well imagine, it’s a bit of [continue reading…]
Well, I can’t say that today’s been a particularly happy day… more like an incredibly frustrating one! Why, you ask? Well, mostly because all of my time in between work and the other things I needed to do was spent attempting over and over [continue reading…]
Today’s happiness is brought to you by a fragrant batch of fresh strawberries that Peter picked up while grocery shopping this afternoon. I’m looking forward to enjoying a bowl tonight and then some more tomorrow in my breakfast yogurt – [continue reading…]
Yes, it’s Tangled Tuesday… and it’s also another happy day! There were several things I could have used for today’s 100 Happy Days photo – the bright blue sky (which made a much-appreciated appearance after several days of greyness)… the [continue reading…]
Today’s happiness is brought to you by the number THREE (which, coincidentally, happens to be my favourite number)… as in, today marks Week THREE of the fun “Write in your own space” MicroblogMondays, my personal Day THREE of participating [continue reading…]
Yes, I realize that it’s a rather complicated post title – but today (and each week until I finish the 100 Happy Days challenge), gratitude and happiness are walking hand in hand!
Over the past several months I’ve noticed a number of friends participating in a challenge called 100 Happy Days, where every day for 100 days they submit a picture of what made them happy that day. Fabulous idea, don’t you think? This sort of thing [continue reading…]
My heart sank a little when I saw today’s Photo Friday prompt – Panorama – because I was pretty sure that I’d have nothing suitable to share with you! See, I would describe my method of photography as iPhoneography, which [continue reading…]
Whether we add them to our calendar, make intentional plans and preparations, or keep them tucked away as subconscious thoughts, we all have our own traditions and rituals which we observe to recognize and celebrate the changing of seasons. [continue reading…]
I learned from my very aware friends at Write Tribe that today is World Suicide Prevention Day. With the tragic death of Robin Williams still achingly fresh in our minds, the observation of such a day seems rather timely, doesn’t it?

Slowly, slowly, I’m getting back into the tangling groove after coming to a near standstill due to a bout of tangle fatigue. I’m happy to say that I now have a couple of completed projects under my belt, though, so today’s Tangled Tuesday post will be a [continue reading…]
My name is Laurel. Yes, my name is a little bit different, somewhat uncommon… and I love it. One small problem, though, is that my name is enough like other, more familiar names – Laura, Laurie, Lauren – that it’s often mistaken, misspelled, and [continue reading…]
You’re probably going to laugh, but at the top of today’s gratitude list at this moment in time is the fact that the skin condition that’s been bothering me for months now appears to be pretty much cured! Within a day or two of discontinuing use of [continue reading…]
