Recipe for a good and happy life.

The hydrangeas we picked on the side of the road, going for a walk this morning and I wished I could say that the roses were from my garden, but they were store bought.

Is there a recipe for a good and happy life?
Here are some ingredients suggested by Robert Louis Stevenson:

To be honest:
to be kind
to earn a little
and to spend a little less;
to make, upon the whole,
a family happier for his presence;
to renounce when that shall be necessary,
and not be embittered;
to keep a few friends.

There is more, but that sounds like a promising start, doesn't it.

My daughter designed my new blog header, which I really love.
I feel like a dinosaur when it comes to using photoshop and things like that ~ she is so quick and can do things like this with such ease. Thank you V !

I hope the first week for the year is going well.
We have been having a lovely relaxing time, going on some walks, cleaning and organizing the house ( did I tell you I am a hoarder and need to throw out so much more.)

I just want to wish all my dear friends a very happy weekend.

Hugs
Carolyn
