Sometimes, something will just make me happy. It isn’t a happiness that lasts for days, and sometimes, it is gone within a few moments… rather, this kind of happiness is a burst of sunshine on the most ordinary of days.
for no reason at all. I find myself smiling.
tapping my foot to the music
opening the window a bit wider..
searching for the smell of fresh cut grass
wishing for a spontaneous trip
seeing something beautiful in everything. Plotting a random act of kindness.
enjoying the sunshine coming through my window
… contemplating a walk in the rain
dreaming about babies.
It’s like Emily of new moon’s dear flash. But better. {okay, maybe not really, but a girl can dream, right?}
I had a burst like that yesterday when I found this picture. I was smiling from ear to ear even though there was no one watching.
Why? Quite simply, it makes me happy. For no reason at all, other then I simply adore it.
It feels like a watercolor to me. Quite. Peaceful. Beautiful.

Picture taken this last August at my wedding in the woods.
