I hope this little email will uplift and encourage you to see the good things all around you. In this email:

• Food for thought: Every Day
• Picture of the day: Spring Lilies of the Valley
• Daily Funny: Tie and hat
• Daily Happiness: When words flow
• Daily Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every Day

One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I like these words - they are just the thing I am writing about in these daily emails. Concentrating every day in little things that bring happiness. 

What did the tie say to the hat?

"You go on ahead and I'll hang around."

When words flow

I have been stressed with the study assignments I need to return mid-May. The dissertation proposal to my MA in Egyptology studies and on top of that one essay, one poster and one museum catalogue. The poster and the catalogue were more or less done, but the essay and the proposal. I took two weeks off work to write them and expected the writing part of each to take days. And what happened? I wrote the first draft of the essay in 7 hours in one day. And the dissertation proposal was more or less done in two days. Now all I need to do is to tweak them. Such a relief when I know I have plenty of time. (And the picture is a digital painting of Tutankhamun's golden mask I painted).

What made you happy today? Send a note and tell, if you wish to share your little happy moment with others.
