I have to make an effort to focus on the simple things that make me happy...a good book ( with a happy ending), a painting that turns out like I hoped it would, working in the garden, movies (with happy endings!) a cup of hot tea on a chilly morning (and then another and another...),that springy, earthy scent during a winter thaw, chocolate, and of course, Propeller! :) ................................................................................................................................................................................
