Pumpkin Patch Kid

Caedmon sure did enjoy the hay ride at the Avila Valley pumpkin patch! He tagged along with big sister Brooke as her preschool field tripped last week. Happy, happy!

Happiness is...

Theory: The key to my personal happiness is FLEXIBILITY. Expect the unexpected. Look for a delight in this moment at this place and with these people. Here are a couple quotations that have inspired such philosophical musings of mine: "Acceptance" by Victoria Moran - "Happiness comes from accepting the present situation, whether it's something you wish to savor as long as possible or change as quickly as you can. Neither is possible without acceptance as the starting point, because without acceptance, you are living on the periphery of your life. There at the edges, you can't fully enjoy the good stuff or do anything about the rest." Don't forget William Shakespeare, who is succint and insightful: "My crown is in my heart, not on my head;/not deck'd with diamonds and Indian stones,/nor to be seen: my crown is called content." Nicely put, Vicky and Will! Such a pleasant way to live, with contentment; acceptance; flexibility; low expectations; etc. Happiness is...! :-)
