Joy in the Everyday.

Shortly after my mom passed away I was in a slump for quite some time. It was at that time that I told myself to pay attention to the everyday details, big or small, that made me happy. I noticed that whenever I would walk into our sitting room and the sun was shining right though, I couldn�t help but to smile. Whenever I would catch myself smiling or feeling happy about something rather small, I would take a picture, to freeze that moment in time.

And I�ve continued to do it because sometimes I need a reminder of all the things that make me happy when I�m feeling down in the dumps. I grab my camera and freeze the moment in time. Here are a few of those moments.


Our furbabies love of sunlight.
Wherever the sun is that day is where you'll find them.

Pizza on the weekends.
Cheese for me, pepperoni & sausage for Sean.

When Sean brought home a pine candle to have our house smell like a real tree resides here.
It also showed me his excitement to decorate for Christmas which in turn made me really happy :).

To live in a house that offers so much natural light.
Brightens my mood daily.

Having our first fire of the season with a mantel newly decorated for Christmas.
Nothing cozier.

These are the simple joys in life that I don�t think about often since it is so much a part of my everyday life.
When I stop for just a moment to reflect, I realize that often it is the small things that bring me the most happiness.
It's amazing to see and appreciate just how special and important the everyday really is.
