A beautiful reminder. “A small, certain happiness” is a concept I will return to. For me, it’s my first morning coffee, and reading some beautiful writing (now). 💜

Ah, that first morning coffee! I've transitioned to a chai latte these days, but I know what you mean. A hot beverage and reading something good—a miracle.

Ooo, adding a croissant into the mix is PERFECTION. I love croissants.

For me, it's been coming to my Substack groups/chats like this one, and my own music. I also have been making sure I shower and eat breakfast each day before I start working on my computer. A therapist once told me I needed a routine and her advice is bearing fruit!

“…the certain happiness of an expansive, unending beauty.” A wonderfully articulated reason for living. Thank you both ❤️

Isn't it gorgeous? I truly love it—and I love to think of what sort of THAT beauty I encounter in the world.
