autumn happiness is....

 

cozying up with my daily tea....and new arm warmers (fleece lined!) from the sundance catalog.

enjoying my very first loose tea teapot. i put a call out on twitter for a recommendation and beehouse was the overwhelming response. so, i made the order and boy do i love it.

heading out for very early morning power walks with baby. i'm rededicating myself to exercise. really want to be around in physical body as long as possible so i can see this little spirit grow and shine for as long as possible.

finding meaning, inspiration, and words of hope everywhere. these were found at the local whole foods bakery.

making art that is so centered to where i'm at these days, or at least to where i'm aiming to be. i'm feeling quiet, strong, and staying very close to my core perimeter of family and friends. i'm craving simple, simple these days without too much activity.

finding more poetry posts and stopping to read the poetry all over my neighborhood. i am feeling quite inspired to build a poetry post for our front yard...love.

going to bed early, like really early (8:30-9:00) and cozying in with a book or magazine. this is a new practice for me. i love the downtime, the solitude, the inspiration.

and finally, autumn happiness is witnessing baby True become toddler True with all of his walking, and happy running, and busy bee sounds, and cuteness overload.
