Things that make me happy

I’ve been wanting to make a post like this for a while, but I really hoped to get a list of ten and I never got that far. Oh well, baby steps. Three is good too.

One: Tea. Tea in general, but this tea is very good. And yes, drinking that specific tea means… let’s just focus on the good stuff, okay? (part of me wants to whine about being sick all the time, but I’m trying to keep myself from doing that – and isn’t this a sneaky way to do it anyway?)

Two: The birds are back! We stopped feeding them because they hardly ate any of that sugar (they are called sugar thieves for a reason), but I guess there aren’t as many flowers anymore. It’s so fun to watch tem.

Three: The sky. I know, I’m a broken record about this. But it’s true. It’s so beautiful, Sometimes I forget to look, but when I remember it always makes me feel so much better.

The sky

There are so many thoughts in my head, but I just can’t find the words. Some people have such a beautiful way with words, but I have always, even in my published novels, been writing in a way that is very down-to-earth, and easy to read and understand. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, in fact, that’s what people liked about my books, but sometimes I feel frustrated.

I would like to be able to expres what these beautiful skies mean to me. How I feel lighter, calmer and comforted when I look at them.

I tried, but what I wrote didn’t make any sense. The sentences didn’t flow and the words felt unnatural. I was trying too hard. So I’m just going to keep it simple and down-to-earth.

I love looking at the sky and I hope these pictures bring you a little bit of joy too.
