happiness is...

... a quiet sunny afternoon in mid march.  an excellently romantic playlist in iTunes.  soft wool and a fast crochet needle.  recent orders packed up and shipped. hot earl grey tea in my favorite mug.  a napping toddler.  a clean kitchen.  paid off bills.  a brisk walk. sightings of crocuses amidst the snow.  a warm bagel.  a cold diet coke.  daydreams of kisses in springtime. 

hurry up, spring!  i've missed you!

(the notebook to the left is from my gocco printmaking days... hmmmm.  maybe it's time to start again!)
