Today’s theme for Photo 101 is bliss. Well, it falls in rather nicely today. Yesterday it rained ceaselessly that the school sent a mail of no school today, so yours truly started having bliss from last night at the thought that I don’t have to jump up at 4:30 in the morning. Yours truly lounged in bed. Now that is bliss π
My source of bliss are derived from the simple satisfaction that I can find in the daily life around me.
I make a conscious effort to cultivate a heightened sense of contentment and each source depends totally on my frame of mind.
Something as little as seeing a happy dog, gives me a sense of joy.
Below are some things that signify bliss for me.
Putting up my feet on a lazy weekend and indulging in a good read with some nibbles.
Listening to my music and stealing in some wiggles.
A lazy day at the beach.
Eating out with my lovelies. We get to spend time chit-chatting and I get an off day from the kitchen.
Walk in nature and emptying my thoughts. Sometimes, I use that time to pray as well.
Just sitting and watch children play freely gives me joy.
Getting a pedicure with foot massage. Ah!
The sauna helps to work out the kinks in those bunched muscles. Toss in a good professional massage and I am in happy land π
Cake!!!

Schools were open here in spite of rains- wish the rains would close my university, though and keep schools open- so I could have fun times with myself. Enjoy yourself my friend.
God bless !

You made me laugh today. When I looked at your post the first thing I saw was your feet-I don’t care about feet, so what I said to myself was hmm….then I saw the title of your post – things that make me go hmm – and I knew I was right where I was supposed to be, cause I started laughing. Laughter is my bliss, be it mine or someone else’s. I love to hear laughter.
