Question: What made you happy today?
Running To Slow Things Down 
Today having the kitchen to myself to stand over the stove stirring risotto made me one happy girl
love this post =)
sweet potato fries are looking amazing! don’t think there is anything better 😉
Playing around with my new camera made me really happy! So did the sunshine, and baking bread! Today was a happy day!
This post made me happy 🙂 As well as having sweet potato fries for lunch, too! and getting caught in the rain. 🙂
Happiness is how mouthwatering this post is. Haha.. I think I just drooled everywhere. That dinner (lunch?) looks so fabulous 🙂 I’ve been CRAVING sweet potatoes lately… I baked one yesterday only to split ot open and realize that it had gone bad. Not cool.
Luckily, I sought happiness in a bowl of savory oatmeal for dinner instead. Yum.

Laughing with my grandfather and going for a walk in the countryside . Good tastes better al fresco doesn’t it? X
Apple picking made me happy. 🙂 Can’t wait until our next adventure… that makes me happy too!!
Yesterday’s happiness was picking loads of blackberries, and today’s happiness will be turning them into blackberry jam.
Your posts are always so cheerful! 😀
Yesterday going on a 13 mile bike ride with my mom made me happy!
I love this post. I totally agree with the first quote: want what you have!!!
What made me happy? Spending the whole day with my husband with nothing to do. A lazy day is just what we both needed.

Happiness is reading this post and mentally visualizing all of the happy images you created 🙂
Today a good run, a bright sun and a batch of chocolate chip cookies have made me happy so far.
I wish I could eat that… that looks so good!
