a few of my favorite things…

Happy Friday! Life is a bowl of cherries…and sometimes lemons…and sometimes a box of chocolates. No matter what kind of day you’re having, you have the power to choose to be happy. Oh…trust me; I have some real shit storm days, but a good dose of God, appreciation and a change in attitude can turn everything around. Today I woke and had to choose to be happy.  And, can I just tell you…I am! I reflected on my week as I sat at my desk, sipping my coffee, tossing the miniature tennis ball for Penelope…cracking up as she body slammed every piece of furniture in her fast pursuit of the ball. All the while I strolled through my photos, adoring the small blessing that came with each one of them.  If you have a frown…turn it upside down.  Smooches and love to all of you!           {My little note box from Homegoods is so sweet sitting on top of my desk. I love it…}

{I’m off the powdered sugar donuts from VG’s Bakery and onto the honey bran muffin. So flip-n moist and delicious.}

{A perfect private moment for me with my latest issue of House Beautiful, a creamy glass of Wente Chardonnay and my candles that have fondly taking the place of my old fireplace.}
