Happiness is in Simple Things

"I have heard painters acknowledge, though in that acknowledgment no degradation of themselves was intended, that they could do better without nature than with her; or as they express themselves, 'that it only put them out." (Sir Joshua Reynolds)

I loved this branch with some snow on it. I think it is incredibly beautiful. My friends often complain about a bad climate we have and say how much they hate winter. As for me, I do not need to go to overseas for being happy. Yes, I go there somethimes and enjoy such trips but if I have no opportunity to leave my home, I feel happy also in my native country. I think there is beauty everywhere around us - you should just stop and notice it. Such small things always make me happy and besides I believe that "happiness is inside all of us."
