Happiness is:
- taking a break in the morning, having tea with my husband as he drinks his coffee, and we watch the deer in our yard
- visiting Meerkerk Gardens with mom
- walking our dog, Sabre, along a secret road winding through old growth forests at South Whidbey State Park
- playing gin rummy with our friends and being silly
- going to the dog park with Sabre and watching him play with all the dogs, large and small
- watching a sunset
- strolling the beach and stopping, watching in wonder at a bald eagle that has flown its catch from the waters to a rock in front of us
- hearing the cry of a loon on a cool, misty morning, echoing from far away
If we slow down and enjoy a moment of peace, we can carry that serenity with us throughout the rest of the day. Bringing our calm and understanding with us, we will think and act in calm and understanding ways. It is a beautiful way to live.
