Little Things in Daily Life

It seems like it's always the little things that cheer us up and get us through the day. Is it because we're stressed and want to find a deeper meaning in the simplistic, so these little things suddenly seem so much more than what they normally are? Or is it the opposite: that these things are so simple and pure that we are drawn to them, and away from the chaos of human life? I think I'm leaning toward the latter answer, though I'm sure it could go either way. 

Here's some little things keeping me happy.  :)

Catching a glimpse of a sleepy bird, all puffed up and getting warm in the sun.

Getting sneak attacked with the camera while baking tasty treats.
(Though I may not look ecstatic, never fear! Skeptical is my go-to face. Who knows why.)

Receiving flowers from a special someone - for absolutely no reason at all! Just love.



Watching the boyfriend become 'Lord of the Fire' as he attempts to master the flames. <3

Hanging out with the cat.

When the power fails and we've got no choice but to use candles... and we're excited about it!

One word : LYCHEES!

Having a compatriot for silliness.

There you have it!

A little peek at some of the little things in life that are keeping my spirits up and making me smile.

What's making you happy right now?

Looking Back

Isaac recently discovered a few rolls of film that had been forgotten to time, (which always feels like finding buried treasure!) so when they got developed we enjoyed taking a peek at the past. 

The gang, being goofs - during our first trip to San Francisco!

Sunshine chill time.

Gorgeous hills.

Definitely miss having crazy-red hair.

Yumi-chan and her big green eyes.

Blasts from the past. ^-^

Desktop SS : Blue May 2012

Clear days.

Right now my head is a bit stuffed with over-thinking, deadlines, decisions and what not. The air of quiet reflection in this wallpaper reminds me to chill out, and breathe. May is going to be my meditation month!

(Extra bonus: there's a tiny sleeping cat on the left side of the bus stop. He's super adorable!)

If you're interested in the wallpaper, you can grab it here.

Here's to the beauty of blue skies.

The Cute : Pusheen The Cat

Pusheen the cat is almost too cute for words. (That face! AND a tiny chef hat. Love it.)

This adorably round cat has quite an active life, which includes both baking and the occasional dance party.

I highly recommend checking out more of the awesomeness that is Pusheen the cat.

The Cute : Cuddling With Yumi-chan

Isaac's gray cat (Yumi-chan) is our resident furball, and she's consistently adorable. 

If you happen to sit next to her, you can bet she'll find a way to snuggle up.
