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.
It’s Friday again. I hope you had a fantastic week. Here’s a small sampling of my favorite moments since last Friday. It started out with Labor Day weekend at Hawkes Landing. The leaves are turning, and it is absolutely stunning. Charlie was less than enthusiastic about posing for a photo, but he humored me. (What choice … [Read more…]
I hope your week has been as happy as mine. I have so much to share, it took real constraint to narrow the list down to a manageable size. It started Friday evening with girls dinner with these two lovely ladies. (I did not take photos at dinner, so I pulled these from my archives.) … [Read more…]
And here we are again–Friday Favorites! Yeah! My week started out with a bang with homemade zucchini brownies from Jenny. She really is the best bakery chef ever.

I’m going to mix things up for this week’s Friday Favorites and instead of sharing photos of my favorite happenings from the week, I’m going to share some of my favorite quotes. I love words, especially when they are arranged poetically in a way that inspires me or just makes me say, “That’s me exactly. How … [Read more…]
Happy Friday! It’s time to look back on the week and reflect on all of the happy things that happened. Breathe in; be grateful! Thank you Liz and Kevin for our cabin sign.

First thing’s first. Let me start this Friday Favorites by saying thank you. My most favorite thing this week was your wonderful, warm response to my letter to Bryan.

It’s Friday, and you know what that means — Friday Favorites! As usual, we headed to Hawkes Landing for the weekend. This time we went over Guardsman’s Pass, and the views are stunning (if a bit scary at times)! The wild flowers are in bloom. We went on several nice hikes. Followed by a frosty mug! The skies were … [Read more…]
