This morning, I enjoyed some coffee with my mom and dad on their farm. The weather hadn’t fully adjusted yet, so it was a crisp 34 degrees outside. The farm brush was beautiful. At this time, it’s usually an ugly shade of dead, brown, but with dew and early morning freezing temperatures, it was a beautiful, frozen white.
The sun was rising and peeking through the pine trees, casting its rays on the frozen crystals. It was beautiful! It looked as if the brush had been covered in glitter. I tried to get a good picture, but some things you have to experience and memorize the way they made you feel when you encountered them.
As I approached the farm, I noticed the donkeys were on the far side of the property where the sun was fully 
warming the trees and them, too. I turned into the drive and stopped to get a photo of the smoke coming from the chimney, just in time to catch dad coming out with the dogs for their morning walk.
What is happiness? Sharing coffee with people I love without the world making demands on me. The warmth of fire in the fireplace on my face. Random conversations with those who brought me into this world. THAT was happiness to me for today.
What brought you a glimmer of happiness today?
