It's the Little Things

Since I've been back... I've been embracing each day. Treating each day off as a gift, as I now know it will not last forever. The two months off I had prior to my trip were spent entirely too much on the computer. So each day, if it's just one thing I've been making each day special. Like...

Saturday - Waking at 6:30am to go for a 2 hour walk on the beach.

Sunday - Cooking in my own kitchen again... brunch and dinner, ahh.

Monday - Chinese for lunch & browsing books in a craft shop, and an evening dip in the pool.

Today - Morning spent working on a children's book I'm writing. Dressing up for an almond amaretto cupcake from Sweeter Days Bake Shop and chatting with the nice owner. (There is nothing like a cupcake, even after all the French patisseries.) Catching an afternoon matinee of Midnight in Paris. (A decent movie literature buffs may appreciate. The coincidence being I personally never saw Paris after midnight, or after dark for that matter with the exception of my evening boat cruise on the river Seine.

Recent iPhone pics: A cafe in Monmarte. Eiffel Tower from the Bateux Mouches river cruise. Almond Amaretto cupcake from Sweeter Days Bake Shop. "Meet Me at the Cupcake Cafe" by Jenny Colgan the book I just finished which I bought in the UK. Has great recipes with Royal Wedding cupcakes to commemorate the special day.

How do you make each day sweet?
