7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 59): the one about things worth celebrating

— 1 — A year ago, turning forty was something I was dreading.  For whatever reason, I’m really not anymore.  Maybe it has something to do with celebrating my birthday for an entire year?  I don’t know.  All I do know is that at this point, the absolute worst thing about turning forty will be the end of…

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 42): on vocation, Quantum Golf, and a serious coffee question

— 1 — Happy Friday!  I am not generally a TGIF type – I like my jobs, and weekends tend to be busier than I’d like a lot of the time anyway – but for this season, Fridays are my Sabbath(ish) day, and it is so good to be sitting down with a strong cup…

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.
