hello dear ♥

you are making me want to get back into the swing of smoothie drinking. You should write a smoothie cookbook darlin’!

Thank you for your uplifting, spellbinding, soul-stirring post:)

As always, i am enamored.

I almost fell off of my chair reading the e.e. cummings quote.
I actually think like that. Chatting merrily along..yes, no….yes, no…here, there and everywhere.

I am working on the cheery self…….everyday……working
Thanks for making it less work related today

Yes, you are right, Maddie. We (I) may not be cheerful every day but we (I) can choose the cheery, lovely, magical things in the every day. Sometimes that takes a bit more effort than usual, especially during the overcast, grey days of winter and when the news on the tv is heartbreaking. Thank you for the reminder, my friend. Visiting your blog is a joy.

i like the sound of that second smoothie. i only wish i had read this *before* i went to the market.

i so get the cheerful thought. i am learning that choosing joy as a word does not mean the thing you think it means when you pick it – because what really brings you joy is not always enjoyable.

As I type I hear the sounds of a new instrument singing it’s first tentative notes, calling me “make music” it says, sunday, making music, what could be better than that.

Oh what beautiful Sunday offerings! I don’t know where to start.

Did you know that there is an Eadward Muybridge exhibit here http://www.equinoxgallery.com/
they are originals and quite fascinating.

I am learning (perhaps too slowly) that happiness really is cultivated and that i am responsible (by the choices i make) for my own happiness. Thankfully I have people like you in my life to remind me of that.

Andrew Bird is wonderfully quirky and creative, I’ve never heard him before. Thanks as always for the beautiful links.

I have been toasting happiness every morning and it works so well, I make that choice for happiness even when the sad things are creeping up. This morning I awoke late to a sky full of sunshine, rain in the past of yesterday, and a wonderful treehouse in my email – teehee – thoughts of mapmaking, and this wonderful post full of cheer and the thought of spring. And Roxanne’s reminder that happiness is the roadmap, and of course, that is just another reminder from the Universe that “navigate” was indeed the perfect word for my year ahead. And now onto breakfast and then, well, it’s football time in Texas!

These are the thoughts I am carrying with me too. I would think you are souch a person that when meeting you, many inspiering thoughts awakens. That´s what happens in meeting sertain people. And I love that! Actually, I do not have time to sit here because I should be going to my sons kindergarden and clean some floors and toilets. But my house (read apartment) is quiet right now and I like to sit down here just for a while before I am off… Thanks for being my friend Maddie for a little while!

Love!

Have a nice week, Maddie. Hope you are having a nice weekend. A smoothie sounds nice, but it is very warm in Mumbai and I will just make myself a nice buttermilk lassi.
