Nicole's words on happiness over at forty-sixth @ grace capture the feeling I've had of late. Last year at this time I was far from happy: unemployed in a town of 70,000 with what felt like little prospects for happiness. But it was during those months, days, weeks, hours and minutes of idleness that I forced myself to create my own happiness through bike rides, runs, writing and words, crafts and picnics. Slowly happiness has saturated my life in the Valley. Surprise.

Hounds
I'm not a pet person but last summer at the Wolfe Island Music Festival, I met a loveable Basset Hound named Harriet. Since then, I stop to pet and interact with any of the long-eared pooches I pass on the street to get a good understanding of their demeanor.

Outdoor nap
Three o'clock summertime nap nest. I wish I could sneak out to such a birch hideaway every afternoon this summer. Bliss.

Happy Canada Day
It's Canada's 142nd b-day today. Hope it is a rockin' party. I am @ work until three when I'll meet the future husband and an old friend for balsamic glazed ribs and caesars. Let the summer begin (and Mother N if you are reading this, please warm us up)!

Said the whale
Good Canadian tunes in town on Friday night. Hand clapped along with Vancouver's Said the Whale. Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia is likely to be my summer album.

Morning practice
This simple desk and chair inspire me to pick up my pen and engage in my neglected morning practice. Tomorrow morning?

I'd go to the Silver Screen
Inside all of us is hope.
Inside all of us is fear.
Inside all of us is adventure.
Inside all of us is a wild thing.
