Tuesday’s update from Julia!

Things that make you terribly happy

I’d like to tell you a story about a tomato:

 

This past summer I took an unexplained and unmerited vacation from all my ambitions.  Suddenly, I just didn’t care so much for the hustle and striving toward my ambitions and dreams.  Instead, I just wanted to grow a tomato.  I wanted to step out of my window-sill in the morning barefoot and water my little tomato guy.  I wanted to ride my bike to farmer’s markets.   I just wanted to do little things each day that made me terribly happy.  Months have passed, and my ambitions and dreams are alive and well again, but I’m trying to focus every single day on remembering the little things that make me terribly happy, and finding time for them as well.  The big exciting stuff is awesome, but I think some times its the little stuff makes our lives fuller and brighter, and that help us feel that peaceful glow from within.

Julia’s Five Things That Make Her Terribly Happy:

-Barefoot summer mornings (and nights)

-Laughing until it hurts

-Farmer’s Markets

-Dancing down the street when I think no one’s watching

-Early morning coffee before the rest of the world’s awake.

What’s on your happy list? What are the little things that make you terribly happy?

Put a little joy in our days.

Love,

Julia

Just a reminder, this tumblr is purely run by fans, collecting things that make us glow and serving as an unofficial tumblr extension of the glow* project. We do, however, have Denise Donovan’s blessing for what we’re doing.
