Here is my card for Teapot Tuesday. Our challenge is to share what brings us joy. I find joy in simple things but all too often busyness crowds out that joy. Then I need to step back and be present in the moment. I need to enjoy the time with family and friends more, smell the grass after mowing, enjoy the rain showers and all the other simple gifts in life. One thing I do enjoy is a piece of good quality dark chocolate. My favourite breakfast, one I indulge in when on vacation, is fruit, cheese, a pastry or croissant, coffee and a bite of chocolate. It is 8:30 pm here and I really should head back to the office for a few more hours of work today. Either that or head in super early tomorrow morning. I think I'll sit down and have a nibble of chocolate while I ponder the best choice for me. Have a joy filled day. Enjoy!

I so agree with your sentiment on this card and I love that you placed that yummy box of chocolates on that pretty lace. I equally enjoyed your write up and agree with all you said. We do need to take more time to be present to the simple gifts in life. I do hope you don't let your overloaded work schedule rob you of that. Thank goodness for chocolate and fun cards like this one.

Those chocolates look amazing! A very deluxe selection.
I can't imagine going back into work at 8.30 in the evening - I am definitely more productive in the mornings.
