happy little things

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”
― Albert Camus

Waking up to a crisp blue autumn sky peeking through bright orange and yellow leaves

and Moose's head resting on the edge of the bed 

is a great start to any day...

but it was an especially welcomed treat this morning.

Today I am focused on the little things making me smile:

- flirting with Mr. D at the red light before he turned left toward downtown 

and me, right toward old town

- the colorful trees like bright flower bouquets lining the streets

- the warm smell of a fire burning in the cool fresh air

- holding hot chocolate in the warm mug between my hands

- my grandmother's turquoise ring 

- Thanksgiving around the corner and Christmas songs in my head

May your day be filled with lots of happy little things!
