Today’s post is all about some of the things that make me happy, thanks to my lovely friend Vidya Sury who tagged me in the “Eight Photos of Happiness” bloghop (thank you, Vidya!). Do check out her “Happiness is Homemade” post full of sweet and heartwarming photos (and be sure not to miss the last one, which showcases a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience!).
And oh! Turns out that another blogging friend had previously tagged me in this bloghop and I totally missed it. 🙁 I am so sorry, dear Debbie Doglady, for my negligence… and friends, please do check out Debbie’s post as well – she has a great selection of fun photos!
Now here are my own eight photos of happiness.
My love.
My family.
Our three beautiful boys (Seamus, Oscar, and Felix).
Our darling little girl (Mei-Mei).
Coffee!
Making art.
Mmmm, sushi!
The Holstee Manifesto.

Thank you so much, Debbie! And apparently I’m totally disorganized, as I completely forgot that you’d messaged me about the tag. I am so very sorry!

Love all your meaningful and fun photos showing what a diverse and creative lady you are! Love the family pics, the kitties and the coffee! And I love that Holstee Manifesto. I need a copy of that somewhere to remind me of what’s important.

Thank you, Cat! I fell in love with that Manifesto as soon as I saw it a few years ago – very inspirational.
