Happy flowers
Morning coffee time
Copper joins us in the morning because this is his favorite
spot by the heat.
(he hasn’t acquired a taste for coffee, though)
He also loves the warmth of the sun, but is this a comfortable
pillow?
He changed his mind and is now completely content.

Yes, we have much to learn from dogs. Sending you warmth and support.
They do make great teachers. Thanks so much, Ben!
❤
This is a wonderful post, Lauren. Great reminder.
Thanks, John. I’m glad you liked this. My blog was due for some sunshine. 🙂
I think the whole US is due
Haha! I think you’re right!
😀
Oh, indeed, it’s the little things, isn’t it?!!!!!
Awwwwww, Copper…. I have a girl over here who’s sending so much love to you!!!!!!!
xoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxo
Yes, it’s those little things that tend to be more special to us. Copper sends kisses to both you and your girl, Marina! Big hugs from me! 🙂 ❤🌷🌻🌻💜
A delightful post, Lauren. Loved the photos. Yes, it is indeed the little things! 💕❤️🌸🌸💕
Thanks, Betty! My blog needed a positive makeover. 🙂 Glad you liked the photos, too. Big hugs, my friend…💐🏵💐🏵💐🏵
Hugs back – hope you have a nice weekend coming up. 🙂 🌼❤️💕🌼
You, too! Fridays are always welcomed with open arms. 😊💐💗
Big things are like rocks piled up. The little things are like sand that fill the gaps – making it whole and solid. We need both to fully appreciate our blessings. Just my twisted – in a nice way – take on life, I suppose.
All good wishes,
Eric
I love your take on life, Eric, and it doesn’t sound twisted at all. 🙂 Thanks for sharing, and have a great weekend ahead. By the way, it was time for an upbeat post from my little world in WP. 🙂
Morning coffee time….most definitely!!!
It’s also a nice time for my husband and I to share each morning. Enjoy your cuppa, Sean. Cheers!
That’s awesome!
It’s easy to forget the small things in life.
It sure is, Binky, especially when life throws us curve balls. But then things calm down and we remember again.
What a happy little collection to gladden anyone’s day. 🙂
Aww, thanks, Ian! I’m glad you thought so. I wanted to cheer my site up a bit. 🙂
Lauren – I so agree with you – this is so wonderful post and great reminder!!!
Thanks so much, Mihran! I’m glad you agree and appreciate the little things, too. They become more special sometimes to us. Have a wonderful weekend ahead!
I couldn’t agree more. I adore your dog. Sending love and hugs.
I’m glad you do, Audrey, and I wish you could meet Copper. He would melt your heart. Sending love and hugs to you, too, and have a wonderful weekend. 🌻🌼🌷🌹
Aww. I love a puppy hug. I miss mine terribly. Hope your weekend is going well. ♡
❤🐶❤
Lauren, I’m enjoying my morning cuppa and granola even more now, reading your lovely positive post! The flowers radiate joy and life and Copper is adorable … has a lot to teach us about total relaxation and contentment! I’ve seen the quote from Kurt Vonnegut before but today it struck a particular chord with me! Happy Weekend, my friend, and let’s continue to enjoy those small (big) things in life! ❤️
I’m glad you enjoyed this, Annika. I thought it was time to brighten my blog after the last couple of posts. So, did you see your book behind the coffee in my book basket? 🙂 Yes, we can learn a lot from dogs. A dog’s life is the truth! I love that quote, too. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in all that causes anxiety. But when we really focus on those little things, they become big in the best of ways. Happy Weekend to you, too, my dear friend. Sending big hugs your way! ❤🌷
Lauren, now I’m crying!! 😀❤️ Bless you…I hadn’t noticed the book (Copper took centre stage!) but am so touched you placed it there! Thank you so much! Your post and words have stayed with me today!! Hugs 😀❤️
Well, that basket is where my current reading books rest and yours has been there from the start. 🙂 You’re welcome, and have a wonderful day, my friend…Big hugs back! Happy Friday! ❤🎉🌻
This is adorable, Mom! I believe it’s the simple things in life that make us the happiest! Love you xoxo
Thanks, Steph! I love when you have the chance to visit, and the little things in life become more important than we realize. Love you back 💗🌻
I loved this post, Lauren! It’s wonderful to meet you. I’ll look forward to reading more of your writings. I borrowed the Vonnegut quote to use on my FB hummie quotes…that’s a great one!
Thanks, Jill, and thanks for visiting and following, too. It’s so great to meet you also! Enjoy that quote, and have a great weekend!
Hello Lauren: Super glad to have come across your blog. This is a great post. We often miss out that which is most critical for our happiness: little things that bring smiles. Flowers, coffee, Copper – moments of preciousness. All the best! 🙂
Hi Mahesh, I am SO sorry for missing your comment. Sometimes, they slip through. Anyway, I truly appreciate your wonderful words and am glad you enjoyed your visit, too – the flowers, coffee, Copper, and the special moments. 🙂 I look forward to visiting your blog also! Take care!
Touche!.. Definitely both thinking along the same lines. Lovely post.
Thanks, Alison, and I’m so sorry to have missed your comment. I feel bad, but I’m glad you liked this post, and I can tell you do think along the same lines just from reading your recent post. Thanks again and please forgive me. 🙂
Dont worry at all. We all read so much we are bound to miss some😊
Love the sunflowers, the cute giraffe on your cup, Copper taking a sunbath and of course the excellent Vonnegut quote, Lauren! xoxo 💕💖💗
Thanks, Sarah! On the back of the mug reads, “Hold your head high.” I loved the message, along with the cute giraffe. Keep smiling, and hope you’re having a great day! ❤️💐🌻
Wonderful post👌👍
Thank you! 🌺

My pets bring me so much joy! The little things.
I think all pet lovers would agree with you. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and I apologize for the late reply. I’ve missed some comments here. Take care!

Aww yes indeed even I am a Dog-Mom and honestly, I’ve learnt so much from him.
