Every few weeks, I gather up some recent photos of little moments that brought me joy. By recognizing and seeking out these “blissful bits” of my life, I find myself having a more content perspective. Even with challenging moments (and trust me, I have plenty), I know that in the big picture, life is good. Try it!
Here are a few of my recent smiles!
