I’ve had an immensely happy day. Many of my days are contented or peaceful or just quiet lately, some are more uncomfortable but it’s been a while since my last Really Bad Day.

I put this down to the constant {well, mostly!} vigilance I have to my thoughts, my responses, and where I find myself in the world these days.

I meant that figuratively, but since I find myself literally here {taking these photos} a lot, I’d say that tips the balance considerably in my favour.

Nothing makes me expand like this. Except maybe painting. I mean just look at it. Photos will never do it justice but they can still soothe you. I am spoilt by the almost daily photos and videos my friend D sends me {he lives on the seafront}. Waking up to this is a dream I’ve yet to manifest, but I consider it one step in the right direction that I’ve manifested a friend who not only wakes up to this but also shares it with me.

{my biggest and best heart stone so far ~ check this baby out!}

From my big heart to yours. May it be forever open so all the goodness can come bounding in.

I’m not sure I’m following the rules here but I’m so inspired by Monica‘s little list that I am doing it again. {There are likely to be more of these; try it! It’s like grasping a little moment in time and then you look back and go, oh yeah! I remember how that all felt.}

hear: This Heart of Mine by the Wailin’ Jennys {yes, still. Amy I had to buy Firecracker. Please don’t recommend me any more albums!}
