Smiling. You have such a great eye and love how your mind works. It was fun. It was like a puzzle, not easy to get alignment and took some juggling. Thank you Anneli. You are certainly top of mind when I listed Blog Followers in my Happiness Is list.

I was just thinking specifically about Miami. There is a hybrid hostel, Freehand Miami, that I love and it’s one of my happy places. My dad passed on the 14th in Maine and it was a steel blue cold day. I need Miami and it’s hustle, soft warm sand, raspberry blue water, and old men in t-shirts, sitting on stoops, holding small dogs, loving their breathing, heart beating lives.

OMG! So many shared happinesses. There are likely many, many more, creating such a lovely endless venn diagram – makes my heart race thinking of it. And reading everyone’s comments is such an added treat.
Most of all, the last line, because there is nothing like the happy energy our children bring when they come home.
