Happiness

Reading John Crowley's Little, Big and I love it so far.

Early on (because I'm only to page 70 at this point) one of the main characters, while falling off to sleep, imagined he saw a sampler in a tiny house nightlight that said:

The Things that Make us Happy
Make us Wise.

That is undoubtedly true. . . here are somethings that make me happy.

pretty street art + complimentary colors

complicated cloud formations


flowers that have people faces


the tidiness of farming


L.P. enjoying a rolled down window.

train stations that try harder than most


blurry photos that just give you the sense of a thing

My grandma used to say that happiness was "liking what you had to do." I think that is also wise.
