7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 34): happy things

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 34): happy things

— 1 — I generally try to value time and not write it off with phrases like “I am so glad this week is almost over!”  But while I am glad to be alive and relatively healthy, let’s just say that I am also really looking forward to next week’s arrival.  (That’s the most positive way I…

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated.
