Today, just for fun, I searched “the secret to happiness” on Pinterest. Based on the results, there are a thousand and one paths to bliss. So much inspiration! One of my favorites was a quote from Charles Spurgeon: “It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.” What makes you smile? Here’s what I happily enjoyed this week.
Sometimes, Cholula pauses to take in the view, too.
Sunflowers have always been my favorite.
Date night! I went with the Serrano Chile Margarita. Yum!
I emptied this container throughout the backyard. Fingers crossed!
It’s here to stay.

Bliss.
I can’t wait to tell you about this!

One year ago, I was hiking with my folks in Durango.
Two years ago, John was showing his nephews a thing or two with the lacrosse stick in North Carolina.
Three years ago, we hosted a BBQ before the U2 concert!
And today, in the calm before a traveling storm, I’m pausing to soak in all of the goodness around me.
You know. Just the usual bliss.
