“There’s nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Little chubby helping hands, mountain-side drives and great explorations… another week has slipped by so fast. I hope everyone is having a beautifully happy Five Things Friday! 🙂
Here are this week’s five things at random from Barbara Ann Kipfer’s book, 14,000 Things to be Happy About, plus a five-photo-roundup of things that made me smile this week. Read on for the link-up info.
Five things to be happy about:
- thickets of blackberry bushes and morning glory vines
- a well executed U-turn
- sunlight making polka dots on noses as it spills down through oak leaves
- self-acceptance
- falling stars after midnight
Five smiles photo-roundup:

Great photos and cheerful thoughts. My neighbor has some hydrangeas that are gorgeous, too, and I asked if I could stop by and take a photo today. Thanks for sharing.

Amanda, you started your post with such a great post and The Perks of Being A Wallflower is a great movie. So interesting that self-acceptance ended up in your list of 5. That truly is thing to smile about. Here’s my list… https://quiltnparty.com/2016/07/22/5-things-friday-5/ Have a great weekend!
