Monet and Lighthouses

Things that make me happy, even on a Monday:

1. This painting by Monet—Jardin à Sainte-Adresse. I’ve had a poster of it in my room for the past two years, and it always seems so peaceful and happy.

2. That moment when you can feel the shifting between two seasons. The air feels charged with something new, and anything can happen.

3. Grease. How awesome is that movie? I think Rizzo’s one of my favorite movie characters of all time.

4. Comments on my blog posts! They always brighten my day.

5. Lighthouses. They make every photograph the most beautiful photograph ever.

Hope you're having a happy Monday! Anything making you happy this week?

  2. I'm so with you on the seasons changing. I woke up this morning excited to know fall is around the corner. Tex Ren Fest will be up and running by October and just wonderful things to come... fresh new ideas brewing. Life feels wonderful.

    This week I'm happy to go home and clean my house, sad I know but afterwards I feel so much happier!

    New story is brewing for me, I wish it would rain, I grab most inspiration during those rainy months... though I enjoy the sunshine for my own personal use :)

  3. I love that painting! I was doing research for my WIP to figure out how my MC's mother would decorate their living room and I stumbled across the van Gogh Almond Blossom painting. I LOVE it! So that's my new fave, but I love this Monet too <3
