Looking forward to the crisp air this weekend!

Let Autumn begin!

Desire. Contentment. Happiness. Being human. xoxo

Happiness

To be without desire is to be content.

But contentment is not happiness.

And in contentment there is no progress.

Happiness is to desire something, to work for it, and to obtain at least a part of it.

In the pursuit of beloved labor the busy days pass cheerfully employed, and still nights in peaceful sleep.

For labor born of desire is not drudgery, but manly play.

Success brings hope, hope inspires fresh desire, and desire gives zest to life and joy to labor.

This is true whether your days be spent in the palaces of the powerful or in some little green by-way of the world.

Therefore, while yet you have the strength, cherish a desire to do some useful work in your little corner of the world, and have the steadfastness to labor.

For this is the way to the happy life; with health and endearing ties, it is the way to the glorious life.

Candy baby!

I have always been drawn to the pastel colors of this candy.  Especially the 

          gray/purple one.  For those who are new with Necco ( around since 1847!),

          the best way to eat them is to let them sit out uncovered for a day or two so 

          they get soft.  Yum!   Thanks Grandmom for introducing them to me!

          I share mostly, but not my Necco candy!

            

Feeling the loss and celebrating the new!

Just wanna..

... kiss that face!  Love you sweetie. xoxo

Doing my chores, I found...

.... lovely light behind my freshly cleaned pink slip.  Heart pounding for me.  I know... I'm weird.

Love.. love... LOVE!
