Find a Shady Tree ...


This Quote Made Me Think ... 

When was the last time you sat under a shady tree to keep cool?

Built a sandcastle?

Drove with the windows down?

Ate Cotton Candy? 

I am glad to say I have done a few things on this list, Recently ...
But I wish I could say I have done more off of the list above ... 

These are the Simple pleasures in life ...
I think we all need to start living a bit more ...
I am not saying, to do expensive days out ... 

  Simple Pleasures ... 

 Bake Cookies 
Count The Stars 
Smores 

When was the last time to bought yourself for under $10?

  1. This list is fun! And I have to say, I did many of these things lately, except eating a cotton candy, and I regret that. I'll have to do that very soon!
    It's amazing how these simple things can make us happy. Nothing expensive, as you said, just simple beautiful things. Feeling a bit like a child...always refreshing. :)

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?
