Simple Joys Today
One of my favorite joys in life is loving the little things. Simple joys today are far better than huge, beyond belief joys of tomorrow because tomorrow is uncertain. Today is for sure! I love to just step back and write down the things I am grateful for right now in life. Have you ever done that? Journaled or blogged about the things you love now? I have done this for years, and the best thing is actually go back months or years later to read :) So, these are simple joys today I love. ♥ My husband's days off He doesn't get many days off and they rotate on different weekdays.
