"Appreciate what you've got, even the really small things. For me, those small things are often domestic… Everyday happiness, as opposed to one-off great bursts of pure ecstasy, is intricately tied in with everyday events: the jaunty-looking teapot that pours without dribbling, the children's bathtime, blossom in spring, an especially good book. These things aren't sexy, or glamorous, or envy-making, but they are the fabric of all our days. Concentrating on them, and on all the small joys they provide, can be intensely fulfilling. Moaning because you can’t afford a $500 pair of shoes is not."

How is your weekend going? I set out to do just those simple things above, like endless hours of reading (which inspired these photos) and tomorrow sitting in a cool movie theater, Away We Go is the plan. Enjoy your Sunday.

Thanks honey,

amazing pictures!
I agree that we have to be thankful for what we've got instead of moaning how we don't have the latest "It" shoes when there are some children who go around without owning their own pair of slippers.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful post.
I love to read. That's one of my favorite things to do. Hope you've had a nice weekend. Cheers!

Great quote & pics!
your weekend plans sound amazingly perfect- hope all went as planned. reading for hours on end sounds divine
this is true. i am going through such a changing time in my life, and this thought has come up quite a few times, the real NEED for material possessions.
but then again, i have a fashion blog.
Did I mention that I love your header before? :D
Gorgeous photographs (as they all are onb your blog!)
Sounds like a great weekend!
I sepend mine watching horror movies, walking dogs and eating cake...

i love this post the song is great.
peace&love
I love the pictures! I am all about reading and you pretty much captured my idea of paradise- being surrounded by all kinds of reading material in bed! : )
"Everyday happiness" that's what I'm after - $500 shoes are fabulous and wouldn't turn them down if they were gifted but I wouldn't trade them for life's simple pleasures :)
Have a lovely week!
Hours of read is great. It is much easier to realize what we don't have (and want) than what we do. Sigh. :)
cute! love your blog!
