Sometimes the loveliest bits of joy are found in the smallest of things…
Joy
A Handful of Joy
Lately, I’ve found myself spending stolen moments on a small handful of blogs that are simply beautiful…from the sentiment to the design. I am so inspired by these blogs that I thought I’d share with you, so here goes… Here, There and Elsewhere Two newlyweds who have a passion for life and travel. The DeLucas began…
Autumn and Joy
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. –George Eliot On a related note, don’t miss my roundup of 12 Perfect Pumpkin Recipes over on Babble! What has brought you joy this week? Please share…
Joy and New Friends
Do you remember being a child and making a new friend? Remember how you longed to know everything about them? How there was chemistry from the very start? Well, last weekend, I was lucky enough to be reminded of exactly what that feels like. My friend Rachel has told me about her friend Sue…they’ve been…
Joy and a Favorite
Today, I am republishing one of my favorite posts and linking it up with Mama’s Losin’ It. I loved this exercise and rereading the final product still brings me joy. This was the first post I linked up as editor of The Red Dress Club, now known as Write on Edge. Thanks for reading! Where I’m…
Tears of Joy
I cannot watch this video without crying. I just can’t. This child lights up my world. What brought you joy this week? I’d love to know.
Rediscovered Joy
I sat in the room, the air growing warmer and more still with each passing moment. There was a familiarity…a dreamlike quality that made me feel, at turns, both comfortable and anxious. I have been away from this world for five years now. The energy in the room…the joy…grabbed hold of a part of me…
Reframed Thoughts, Joy, and a Recap
These past couple of weeks haven’t been the easiest patch for me. But, I do realize that I am blessed and that there is joy all around me…I just need to refocus and reframe things a bit. So, I give you this lovely bowl of tomatoes that we bought at the farmers’ market on Sunday….
Joy and Lost Photos
I’ve been meaning to do a BlogHer ’11 photo post, but the days just slipped by as I tried to adjust to life at home with no one to make my bed, buy me drinks, or bring me food. I’ve spent the week looking at everyone else’s amazing photos and decided that I would skip…
Fresh Air and Joy
Fresh air, time spent completely off the grid, and the ability to give Craig, Katie, and Matthew my undivided attention brought me tremendous joy this week. I took no fewer than 4,839 photos in four days of camping, but I’ll go easy on you and just share a handful (okay,a huge handful!). Matthew, waiting patiently…
Bag of Joy
This week, this purse, my early anniversary gift from Craig, brought me tremendous joy. Not just because of the purse itself (which I contemplated sleeping with last night, so in love am I), but also because of the words that accompanied it. When Craig asked what I wanted this year and I showed him pictures…
Each and every day, I strive to appreciate the wonder, beauty, and whimsy in the small moments, the moments that, when strung together, form a lifetime.
