the in-between time & fragments of the everyday
This post was inspired by a Paris subway billboard I saw many years ago that read: Le bonheur, c'est ou? or Where is happiness? It struck me so profoundly at the time and has stayed with me ever since - I've answered this question a million different ways over the years, and over those years learned the answer becomes clearer with age and a bit of wisdom - and is as individual and personal as each of us.
For me, for now, happiness lies in being fully present in the simple fleeting moments of the everyday, noticing the good stuff in the ordinary. It's easy to miss, I do it all the time... but hopefully from now on less often.
What about you friends, where do you seek and find happiness these days?
Oh how I love this, Catherine! I think you are absolutely right.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Melinda :) xo
DeleteCatherine, the bottom bathtub portrait...oh I so have to do this for my little man...I would love to hang this on my walls. Thank you for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOh Laurie, makes me so happy to hear that! Your sweet Little Man's parents would love it :) ... this bath moment happens almost every single day - and I almost missed capturing it!
DeleteOh, I love this portraits! Love it! I have learned through the crisis in my life that I am most happy when I live and am thankful for the moment as you stated.
