Sudden Joy

Do you ever have moments of sudden joy?

I had one this morning ... at the kitchen stove, of all places. Scrambling eggs yellow in the skillet, clear blue sky outside, a Bach keyboard concerto sparkling from the radio. Sunshine, outside and in, combined with bright music to make an inexplicably perfect moment.

In keeping with Knitsofacto Annie's dictum that every blog post should have a photo of some kind, the above is a detail from my tulip mini quilt. Since we don't have any real tulips yet, I am enjoying the ones on my wall.

Many thanks to Paul of Seasons Full Circle for giving me the Liebster Blog Award. Paul is a new blogging friend with an impressive array of talents: running for New Zealand; cycling (much faster and farther than I); writing and recording his own music. He's going through a rough time right now as he recovers from a serious cycling accident, so drop by and leave him a cheery word. (To my fellow LOTR fans - be sure to check out his Hobbiton post.)

In passing on the blog award, Paul asked some great questions, one of which inspired today's post. (Thanks again, Paul.)

Here's the question:

When are you at your happiest?

The comment box awaits. :)
