Bliss....

What brings you bliss? For me, it's many things....gardening, crafting, photography, baking and most of all blogging. It can't be said enough, blogging has become apart of my life, I just can't imagine not having that connection at my finger tips. I've learned so much in the last couple of years that I've been blogging, and I credit my new found spirit to blogging. I'm more creative, more eager to try new things, live more simply and share my ideas and ways with others who reap friendship.

With Thanksgiving just a flip of the calendar away, my thoughts like so many of yours, is leaning towards gratitude. I give my creator thanks every night for all he has blessed me with, but sometimes that just isn't enough. Sometimes, it has to be seen or felt. Last year I did a month of Thanksgiving here, and the response and comments were wonderful, I may do it again this year or something different, not sure yet. But what I am sure of is that we must try to show our gratitude every day, even in small ways. We are blessed so we may bless others.

We need more bliss in our lives, so don't feel bad about taking some special time for yourself, to do what ever it is that brings you bliss, if we are happy and content, the rest of our little world will be too. And what better gift to show our children, that we matter enough to practice enjoying the happy things in life. I blog for bliss and am proud of it! What brings you bliss?

  2. My Bliss? Cuddled on the sofa with my husband. We could be watching TV or just talking. The bliss is being together.

  3. My bliss is sweet hugs and kisses from my toddlers. And as much as I complain, having them crawl in bed with me to cuddle :)

    I enjoyed your very well written and thoughtful post!

  5. Great post, Sue! And I agree!

    For me, bliss is almost unattainable right now. Someone threw a monkeywrench into our lives about 3 years ago, and it has never been the same. Dealing with it on a daily basis and feeling completely helpless to change it, has really taken a toll on me and my family. But that being said, we are never forgetful of the many blessing we still have.

    Yes, bliss would be nice and I hope to have it again one day. Right now, I'll settle for normal!

    Have a great weeken!

  6. Hey Chickadee!

    My first Bliss is... God. Especially during a praise and worship song when I get totally caught up in it and my heart and mind is soley on Him and nothing else. I don't want it to stop!

    My other bliss is time spent with my dear husband and sons. Pillow talk with hubby, and times when a grown son will hug me and "stay" in the hug for a long time. I have this thing where when we hug, I wait stay there, til they let go first. I'm amazed when sometimes even still... one of my sons will linger in a hug for a long time. To me; those times, are bliss on earth.

  11. Hi Friend Sue,
    It's funny that you should post about this. I just finished writing about simple pleasures at my wordpress blog,

    http://lauraofharvestlane.wordpress.com .

    I think great minds must think alike!

    Thank you for your encouragement through all we've been doing. I still plan to get pictures on; but, I don't know how to do it on the library computer yet. Something new to learn, I guess.

    Blessings of Harvest and Thanksgiving to you my friend,

    Laura of Harvest Lane Cottage
