Being happy isn’t so much about the big, extraordinary events in our lives, it happens when we recognize all of the little ordinary things that make us smile. The thank you notes category is all about appreciating the little things that make us smile every day and expressing gratitude for them.
How can it be Friday again already? This week flew by. What’s that saying, “Time flies when you’re having fun.” I must have been having a lot of fun! It started Friday evening when we headed up for another weekend at Hawkes Landing. The foliage over Guardsman’s Pass was even more vibrant than last week.

Here we are at Friday again. One week ago today, we were leaving for Bear Lake, and now we’re home already. School is starting for the grandkids, and summer is nearly over. How did that happen? Where did the time go? Anyway, it has been a good week. I won’t go all the way back … [Read more…]
