reframing Lent

I thought about giving something up for Lent this year, but I found I couldn’t do it. Putting my Christmas tree away was difficult enough. Lent got here before I’d gotten used to the darkness again, and I just wasn’t ready to embrace the season in the same ways I have in the past. I’m…

adventures in Lent: the one about rhythms

adventures in Lent: the one about rhythms

Remember how I said that I was going to soldier on, and keeping fighting myself into wiser patterns of thought and behavior?  You would think that at this point in my life, I would know better than to make statements like that… Last week was rather an epic Lenten fail.  I did not succeed in establishing anything even…

adventures in Lent: the one about words

Can I tell you something really personal?  You know, just between us and the rest of the internet?

adventures in Lent: the one about time

I knew that giving up my unhealthy sleeping patterns for Lent was going to be a challenge; I just hadn’t anticipated how much… One week in, I think I’m only at about a 75% success rate in terms of getting a good night’s sleep, and I’m nowhere near where I want to be by the end…

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. So those are the things I write about, along with a few other things that really matter to me, including faith and feminism. A bit about me: My name is Happy. I have an amazing talent for misplacing my keys, a deep appreciation for whomever looked at the coffee bean and thought, "Hey, I wonder what would happen if I roasted this?", and road trips to Michigan are pretty much my favorite.
