A few of my favorite things…

"Make sure every day that you care for yourself in at least one way that will give you pleasure and stimulate one of your senses." ~Hester Hill Schnipper

I agree. Follow me for a minute around my day, and I'll show you JUST how simple this is…

SMELL:

I light this Anthropologie candle at the beginning of my day…and the scent seriously keeps me HAPPY all day long! Just a whiff, and I still marvel at how GOOD it smells.

TASTE:

Thankfully, this is a seasonal treat…otherwise, there would be BIG problems here. Even seeing the carton makes my heart swoon. Buy some. Now. And when I say some, I mean several pints. You are going to want them…trust me! Yum.

HEAR:

I have been tapping my toes to this CD for over a week now…and I am still giddy to listen again…and again…and again. Music brings me pure joy!

SEE:

There are a few items in my house that I can count on to ALWAYS give off good ju-ju…and this is one. A BIG bowl FULL of crayons. When I look at this, I see Color. Imagination. Fun.

FEEL:

 

I am in love with my bed — it is the epitome of REAL comfort! I have intentionally made it one of the comfiest places on the planet (for me and mine)…because, when you think about it, we spend a considerable amount of time in our beds. The textures, the fluff, the escape — I always look forward to crawling into mine at the end of a day!

When we take a moment to think about what makes us happy, we usually settle upon the simplest of pleasures. Give passionate attention to these…for they are what create lasting memories. Look around. Discover delightfully pleasant things within your home…that will awaken your senses…and make you happy.

It is in all these little things that I relish at just how gorgeous life is!
