This week, Lauren from Everday Reverly and Analiese Marie from Tulips and Tea both awarded me the One Lovely Blog Award.
Thank you, both.
I like Lauren's six things that make her happy today list, so I think I will add my six things:
1. A kitten named Lilly sleeping right next to me in the window of this orange writing room.
2. A Lila Downs music list playing on Pandora radio.
3. The sun. In which I will sit after I finish this.
4. Marcy.
5. Good, Italian espresso.
6. Nearing the end of a journal and thinking about which new journal I will use next.
Okay, onto the Paying It Forward part of this. Blogs that I find lovely in some way lately:

Something that makes me happy . . . waking up early, buried deeply under a pile of soft, warm blankets, sticking my head out from under the covers and feeling the chilly, crisp dawn air flowing in the window above my bed and stinging my nostrils -- the world feels so fresh and alive to me in those moments.

Six things that make me happy:
1) morning hatha yoga stretches
2) raja yoga meditation
3) green tea
4) anything having to do with nature
5) music
6) art and poetry
Things that make me happy:
1. Dawn chorus (birds at 4:30 am)
2. Opening my window to let the cool air in
3. Looking out on to the roofs and taking in the day slowly
4. Fixing myself a cup of ginger tea with honey
5. Seeing my husband who's woken up
6. Praying with him at the kitchen table for little kids I know who are having a tough time.
L-L rocks!
Christine,
I'm so honored, and glad we've connected. I enjoy your blog very much too. I received this award a couple of weeks ago, too, so would you mind if I passed on passing it on again? But I would love to share with you 6 things I am absolutely loving this MORNING! An exercise like this always pulls me back into the present moment where loveliness prevails.
1. Steaming hot coffee: half-decaf/half-regular. Organic, a must! With plenty of organic cream.
2.The sweet sounds of mourning doves cooing outside my office window.
3.Cutting the first bouquet of the season from my garden--hooray!
4. The touch of my husband's hand
5. Sunshine, rather than June gloom today
6. Being able to work in my house pants. :-) I do love comfortable things...
Have a glorious day, glorious you!
