Happiness Is

Yellow

I was going to share some images, but just couldn't decide on one. Oh, Pioneer is just the best website. I just want to jump inside.

an increasing sense that I can control my actions and activities rather than responding only to circumstances. I have agency - how shall I use it?

coffee and toast on my porch on a cool, sunny, October morning. Listening to: birds, windchimes, traffic white noise.

There is a nest of doves on top of the cross walk sign at 17th and Lavaca. This morning, I saw a mom and 2 babies.

I adore these planters! The row of faces (at least) is by Atelier Stella London: https://www.etsy.com/shop/AtelierStellaLondon

Speaking of gratitude...I recently stumbled across this blog post. Beautiful perspective and a powerful reminder of how lucky we are to have so many of the things that we take for granted!

Today is the beginning of a one-month challenge to avoid buying coffees out. While I love the routine of picking up a coffee on the way to work each morning, it is an expense that can easily snowball. And so, I have decided to replace that habit with a new one. For the next month, I will make coffee at home each morning and carry with me to work in a thermos.

beginning new routines. This morning, coffee made at home and a green smoothie for breakfast. Also, I have kale in my teeth.

Cute planters.

Beautiful, handmade sign that Chris made this weekend. He made a whole series of these for his school.
