Happiness

Soda machines with a sense of humor,
leaving little reminders in public places,
the way Moo thinks no one can see him,
the determination of finding your favorite ice cream at the bottom of a freezer,
little girls in big dresses,
big people in little showers,
seeing my lovely readers make their own versions of my projects,
finding Moo's soulmate,
and seeing a couple that grew old together and still not wanting to be apart.

I can go on forever about the random things that make me smile, but I think i'll stop right here....

for now ;)

  47. I love all of your silly little sweet things you do, I think I will think of something for this weekend and take my girls out to leave sweet signs in random places throughout the city.

    My oldest, she's 6, loves to leave Googly eyes throughout the house. The other morning I found a pair on our bathroom cup that we use to rinse after brushing. Hilarious.

    The last pic is wonderful ,what a beautiful moment you captured and I am no longer cranky with my husband. Thanks for that!

  48. Loved, loved, loved this post. I wish I could take the feelings it brought me and put them in my medicine cabinet. I'd take a dosage on each blue day that crosses my path.

  49. I was having a crappy day, and I felt I was about to be snappy at people... So I thought to myself "Going to ColorMeKatie will probably relax those nerves", and then I see this new post, and every picture just melted my heart. For the rest of the evening, I just had to picture the old couple, or Moo's ears sticking out, or the little girls clutchiing at their dresses, and I smiled.
    Thank you so much for sharing your magic with strangers, it's people like you who make the world go 'round.

  59. Keep up the happy little posts. They are such an inspiration. Love the "Learn to love" flags.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Fabulous post and that last picture is so inspiring. Ahhhhhh. Love.

    ReplyDelete
  61. You're such an inspiration. You've inspired me to leave little messages of love and encouragement in public spaces in my area too. I live in South Africa, and often we don't love each other enough here. We're nicknamed "the Rainbow nation" and it's such a beautiful analogy, but often we treat one another as though there are only grey skies ahead. Your public messages of love, peace and laughter have given me an idea...

    Thank you!

    I also love your cat, Moo. I think he's the coolest cat with the best personality in the world. I love the pic of him hiding in that bucket... Too cute.

    Your photos, as usual, are stunning. The picture of the old couple brought a tear to my eye. Hope I can find love like that one day!

    ReplyDelete
  62. I love the banner and the photo! :)

    Thanks for your comment on my blog. You're a true inspiration of all things lovely! As I commented after you, if I lived close to you I would love to be a part of all your pranks and ideas :)

  63. Ahhh.... This is exactly why we all love you so much.
