Spiritual Sunday - Happiness

Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.

This kind of hits it on the head for me at the moment.  I need to stop all the hustle and bustle, all the pushing and pulling and just be.  

So this morning I am thankful for the boys returning from the shop with some lovely flowers and I bit my tongue about not having enough money.

Roses - why wait for valentines day!!

 

I never used to like roses, but they have literally begun to grow on me.  I have been lucky enough to get a couple of bunches from Aldi over the last couple of weeks.

My images don't do them justice, these are a very pale lilac colour and have a parchment coloured tip.  There are two weeks old and a lovely now they are on the wain.

 

I got these with my shop this week, they are a pale cream with a peachy centre and they are just divine.

  

It is wonderful how a bunch of flowers can make a real difference to my mood.  I like these as they have real staying power.

 

I love spring flowers, daffodils and tulips, but they are a little pricey at the moment and also don't last very well.

I hope you all have a great weekend, I am off to pack my mums case for her holiday and then it will be baking and cooking time for the family mad!
