Happiness



HAPPINESS IS

watching the wild waves
thundering on the pool
covered in fizz froth
dangerous and wonderful




a cactus garden in the bush
statuesque with lethal spikes
outback sentinels




flowers in jugs
chinese fans
colourful kitchen clutter
a minimalist's  trauma





butterfly cakes
for afternoon tea
on a rainy day
reading a good book
in bed

happiness is
writing and sharing poetry
we are showered with gifts
we are truly blessed

  2. Oh yes, each one of these things is happiness indeed....reading in bed is my most favourite thing and has been my whole life long. I couldnt begin to count the thousands upon thousands of jouneys I have made between the covers of a book.

  6. You can fix your side panel (on your blog) by opening Design, Customize, and then, Adjust Widths. Make your sidebar a little wider and save it. Hope you don't mind.

    We are so blessed to have happiness in our lives even if it never lasts.

  7. Thank you Bekkie. I'll give it a shot. I'm technically challenged. It's miraculous that I have even got to this stage on the computer:)
