Happy Moments

Generally speaking, I consider myself to be a joyful, content person. Perhaps that's why the little moments in life are what please me most. Go figure that most of these revolve around family and friends.

*Happy moment: Watching Scott run around the house with Leah on his shoulders.

*Happy moment: Leah running laps around the house while repeating "Go, Leah, go!"

*Happy moment: Cuddling on the couch with Leah and a pile of books.

*Happy moment: Enjoying a roaring fire, courtesy of my hubby, while playing with Leah and Scott in the family room.

*Happy moment: Weekend mornings when Scott gets up with Leah. Inevitably, she'll ask for "Momma," and then come racing into our bedroom to crawl in bed with me and snuggle under the covers.

*Happy moment: One-on-one time with my girlfriends so that we can catch up on life.


I'm sure many of you have read the quote: "Life is a series of moments; to live each one is to succeed." Maybe that's why I take such joy in the simple things. Enjoying life is being in the here and now, the day-to-day. When we get hung up on the big events, we fail to notice the beauty in the ordinary, which better defines us than the grand times in our lives. After all, it's in the ordinary, the everyday, that we have the most contact with the ones we love most, isn't it?
