LIst Monday

Our days are made up of small moments that when put together create our lives. I try each day to have more of those small moments be filled with sun and light that will surpass the dark moments when they try to make their way in. Drinking that first cup of coffee, singing loudly along to a favorite song, trying out a new restaurant with Herb, tending to plants, hammering out a design on the bench, sketching in a collection of journals, choosing flowers for bouquets, lighting candles, chatting with an old friend, smiling at a stranger, learning something new or sharing family stories with my daughters are some of those lovely moments I choose to become my story each day. What makes up your day?
