light from behind the screen;
returning the favor;
dancing in the spring sunshine.

Happiness 3-28
blue sky behind it;
drinking in the light from the wild crow moon;
talking it over with the magpie.
Happiness 3-25
beware the thorns;
waking up in your tent in the Tundra;
being on the outside and looking in.
Happiness 3-23
rowing across the lake to a friend’s house for lunch;
hundreds of shootings stars overhead;
lying in each other’s arms in the grass.
Happiness 3-21
the ram showing you the way out;
sleeping in a hammock in the cloud forest;
gasping for joy.
Happiness 3-20
the mouth of the flower;
transforming words into stories;
being greeted with the phrase, “Hail, fellow, well met!”
Happiness 3-17
purple;
becoming a feather and learning to float;
wild horses scraping the snow away in search of spring grass.
Happiness 3-16
planning to meet by the windmill;
waking up and finding your shoes filled with loose diamonds;
the face of the cliff.
Happiness 3-15
inventing the wheel;
snow-soaked earth;
getting into the boat without asking where it’s going.
Happiness 3-14
dawn painting the sky yellow and pink over the desert;
climbing into the balloon and lifting off;
watching the osprey dive.
Happiness 3-13
what lay hidden under ice;
falling asleep with the windows wide open;
playing the six chords on the guitar.
The Perfect Summer Read!
Let me start this review with a disclaimer: romance novels have never been high on my list when browsing Amazon.com for a new read. Yet, the story of "Heaven Falls" piqued my curiosity; with its international settings and large cast of not-so-lovable characters (I'm a sucker for a well-written drama of dysfunctional family life). I do, however, love a good mystery, and Heaven Falls contained an abundance of complex plot twists, that had me re-reading earlier chapters, and guessing (sometimes with accuracy, sometimes not) "whodunit." Although the story toggles between New York City and a variety of exotic worldwide locations, the majority of the action takes place in, and around, the fictitious, exclusive health spa of "Heaven Falls." Located in upstate New York, the author's detailed description of seasonal changes, within the breathtaking countryside surrounding the resort, instantly transported me into her main character's world...a world that I hated to leave once I had finished the novel.
