Happiness is… (aka what I’ve been up to this fall)

Cheryl

… taking a break when you need it and not beating yourself up for doing so. Even if it’s a break from something you usually enjoy. And the break lasts for two months. And it means not meeting some goals you had set for yourself.

… having time to take in sights before seeing a dear friend get married.

… live performance that incorporates two of your favorite things. Ballet and vampires? It’s like the creators live inside my mind!

… enjoying pretty leaves while wearing a tank top (hello, best of both worlds!).

… seeing a favorite book brought to life perfectly.

… the comfort of traditions that remain despite our nontraditional way of celebrating Thanksgiving 2010

(which included shopping and eating our way through Charleston).

… relaxing with a glass of champagne and a good book in the middle of the afternoon on what would normally be a workday.

… going out on the town with Hubby.

… enjoying eight nights of candlelight to honor rededication and freedom of religion.

… salted caramel hot chocolate.

… finding and becoming part of a welcoming community where people have important things in common but are also so beautifully diverse.

… re-watching a favorite series. And knowing once you finish it, you can watch it again.

… finding the perfect holiday present. For yourself.

… warm snuggles with the kitty.

… returning to the blogosphere rested, refreshed, re-inspired, and ready to reconnect.

Happiness is… (from You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown)
