"Happiness is not a thing you can cut off by the yard or measure in chunks. It is a matter of moments when you suddenly know that this moment is special. A few such moments are enough for a long time. The trouble with most of us, it seems to me, is that we chase happiness so hard that when we find it, we have already rushed on looking for more. The truly happy person is one who realizes the happiness of that moment, or that hour.
To be happy, one must be aware."

A few of my personal little happiness here lately...
♥ finishing a small knitting project that resulted in three delightfully warm and cozy...and cute, too, I might add...scarves for my mom, sister and me
♥ further, an unexpected but fun project of knitting our kitties scarves, too...and gushing over their adorableness when they wore them
♥ watching the Olympics and seeing the athletes we were rooting for win gold
♥ admiring the icy branches of our trees during the ice storm last week...and breathing in that invigorating wintry air whilst we dragged the huge branches that crashed to the ground to the street
♥ simply enjoying time before bed in my room, fairy lights twinkling, candle flickering, blanket to curl up in and a good book to savour
♥ wearing the most ridiculously comfortable and warm socks...with sweet designs on them, no less {{smiles}}
♥ cooking dinner whilst listening to the Call the Midwife soundtrack...few things come close to perfection for me like this
♥ seeing a tidy room after finally putting away my Christmas decorations
♥ discovering the writing of an author that truly feels like a kindred spirit
♥ playing the card game, War, with my mom and sister in between baking a scrumptious dessert
♥ practicing pie crust art, something I want to explore more of this year, just because
♥ and finally, seeing baby deer in a field on the way home last night.
. . . . . . . . . .
What are some of your small happinesses, dear ones?
