WAY TO HAPPINESS..

.. such was the title of a picture I've come upon at Flickr today and I immediately have fallen in love with this "so Spring" dreamy image, its emerald-greeny refreshening colors and soft light. Especially now, when the coldest winter I could ever imagine going wild outside, this amazing corner of nature is twice+ more welcoming.


Well, sure we all have our own unqiue ways to happiness. So for me being fully present at each moment as it comes, creating, discovering and enjoying(!) big and "small" pleasures of everyday life and being involved into inspiring and delightful occupations (the detailed list if I only start writing it down, may become really endless:) are the key to happiness.

A wonderful illustration of how to become genuinely happy at every given moment are some of my favorite quotations below.

"To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour." - William Bake

"A happy life must be to great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy can live." - Bertrand Russell
