7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 41): autumn, autocorrect, and amazing grace

— 1 — For the past two days, it has been dark, rainy, and cold here.  It’s relatively depressing, and makes me want to wear bulky sweaters, watch movies, and make pot roast.  I was thinking about how to describe this sudden shift in the weather and I realized that, living in Illinois, there’s just…

“Before you tell your life what you intend to do with it, listen for what it intends to do with you. Before you tell your life what truths and values you have decided to live up to, let your life tell you what truths you embody, what values you represent.” – Parker J. Palmer One…

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company.
