Thankful Thursday: Happiness, sketching bit, roses, tiny post WWI rant

No Bombs falling on one's head, clean food, and clean drinking water means great BIG happiness.

Little Happiness comes while attempting to draw the last rosebud from memory, even though it's not much like the real one:

Unreal

Real

And then there are the other things, the tiny, tiny happinesses.. .......like going to the Tuesday Morning store and finding little treasures, after that annual Squash we all dread but are very grateful for!

And I found these tiny boxes

Mr.Z found these for me... 

Now, on to some chocolate, which is fair traded and Organic.

I've divided happinesses into groups because it keeps me focused to look for even the tiny ones. What I've dreaded for years is coming down. I just can't read the news, anywhere, anymore. I need to stop worrying. I'm not happy because I think the situation was created by the Allies in the early years of the last century when they carved up the Syrian Plain and the rest of the middle east, and just decided to leave some people who had fought alongside them out in the cold, to twist in the wind. I'll just go have some tea and chocolate and keep praying for one of my favorite ethnics groups to make it through this.
