Happiness is - in the simple things ....

This week's Inspiration Avenue team challenge was "Happiness is..."  

I've found that no matter what I've got going on in my life, if I make time to stop and notice the beauty around me, I feel happier :)

PS there's always beauty around everyone - if ever you can't see it, you just need to alter your perspective slightly! :)

    This is a beautiful piece. I am with you on finding happiness. It is all around us, we just need to slow down and open our hearts. You speak to my soul today. I love the photo, it is a great catch of what is there if we take the time to see. Wonderful picture of happiness!

    Find Alice's Restaurant and listen to it!! It's a monologue from around 1968. It's about 20 minutes long. It is such a good time! But keep in mind that this was the age of hippies and the Vietnam war.

    I think it's a national treasure!
