A Dozen Small But Sure Happinesses

Hello again!  Thank you for stopping by♥

My sister Kelly wrote a beautiful guest post at Ponderings from the Inglenook about a dozen small but sure happinesses, and she suggested that I do one too.
I thought that a wonderful idea and so here they are!
 


♥ Snuggling up in bed on a cold and rainy day and 'losing' myself in a good book!

♥ Going window shopping!

♥ Visiting with my friends over a cup of tea or cocoa!



♥ Dressing up and having tea parties with friends and family!

♥ Browsing through secondhand book stores...{whenever I get the chance to do this I usually come     home bankrupt, smiles}

♥ Going to bed when the wind is howling and raindrops pitter-pattering on my window!


♥ Dancing to beautiful soundtracks!

♥ Cooking and creating in the kitchen {I love mixing bits of this and that in a pot and watching it
    become a meal my family will enjoy!}

♥  Watching a good movie with my older sisters and Mom and Dad!


♥ Taking pictures of... well, everything really {smiles}

♥ Gardening with my sister, Kelly!

♥ Trying new teas! 


You can find happiness in everything you do, if you choose to!
Thank you for joining me today... have a lovely week further♥

~ Blessings ~

  3. Such a lovely list of small happinesses, Gabrielle. ♥️ Visiting old bookstores...oh yes! And snuggling into bed at the end of a long day, rain pattering on the roof and splashing against the window...ahh, pure bliss.
    Your photographs are so beautiful...roses are my favourite!
    Love you, sweet sister.

  5. What a beautiful blog you have here, Gabrielle!

    Like you, I also enjoy going to sleep to the sound of rain on the window or roof, and visiting secondhand bookstores (though I try not to buy many books anymore), and trying new flavors of tea.

    Yellow roses are my favorite, and the photo you have shared is simply beautiful!

  10. Congratulations Gabrielle on your blog. It is lovely. I love to spend time with my two sisters. One is older and the other is my twin[Marion]. I love to read ,all kinds of books except science fiction and gory thrillers. I am a tea drinker I do not like coffee. Autumn is my favorite season with all the beautiful colors and the crisp,cool air. I like to knit and I am hoping to learn to sew. I do enjoy drawing,too. I am teaching myself Latin and Sign language. Wishing you success with the blog. Enjoy your teen years. God Bless.
