Life’s Little Favorite Things

We all have bad days, and we all have good days but what I have found to be perfect in changing a bad day or a so-so day into a great day is a freshly picked handful of raspberries.  It is one of the tiniest things that brings me such great pleasure.   The world goes away for a moment or two and life is perfect, still and silent.  It is one of the rare moments where I can BE present.

The next of life’s little things is….. wait for it….. a finely crafted cupcake.  Prepare yourself!  What you are about to see below is LoVE for me……  I think I have fallen in love….

What sounds better than a lemon pound cake beautifully topped with raspberry butter cream icing and a perfectly placed black berry of mother natures best???

Yes… perhaps…. a little over board…. in love with a cupcake, but alas, the joy I get from savouring every last crumb makes ANY day fabulous!

I think we spend so much time not loving the little things – my dear friend today shared that her most joyful/spiritual moments where the times she was child like – frolicking at the beach, making mud pies, laughing till you ache.  I agree with her.

As we get older and ‘life’ picks us up into the whurl wind, take a look around and find those child like, silly little things that bring you joy.  Embrace your inner child and take her out for a mud pie… or better yet a cupcake.

Live life…..with a little icing on top

“When we superimpose our ’stories’ upon what is beautiful, fear happens.  Then we question what we believe about reality.  To argue with reality, I argue with God….. and I always lose.”
