TGIF!

Hey All!  Friday took way too long to get here this week.  It’s weeks like this that have me reaching for a cold beverage on Friday night.  Or, even better, to my own personal drug, about which I’d like to tell you today.
I love photos.  Anyone who knows me knows that I love taking photos, I love scrapbooking, and I love having pictures all over my house.  I. LOVE. PHOTOS.
But, there are some photos that speak to me more than others.  There are some photos that make me feel warm and tingly inside, that make me cry with amusement or love, that quite simply make my day.
A few years ago, when I was having a particularly bad week, one of these photos spoke to me and gave me an idea.  Every time I come across one of these magical photos, I file it in a folder on my computer entitled: “Pictures that are guaranteed to bring a smile to my face, even if I'm having the worst day”
This morning, I opened that folder, and—as promised—I smiled.  I urge everyone to find something—anything—that makes your day no matter how low you are and making it accessible when you need it.  It’s hard to think of happy things when you’re struggling; it’s so much easier when your happier self has already provided it to you.

So, do your down-in-the-dumps self a favor, and make a file.  And, HAPPY FRIDAY!!

Pictures that are guaranteed to bring a smile to my face, even if I'm having the worst day

  1. Happy Crafts and Champagne Day!! How could you possibly need a pick-me-up with tonight coming?

    A lot of these photos would overlap with my list, proving we spend too much time together. But, I gotta ask, what is up with those gnarly fish??!?

  2. haha, I figured everyone was sick of hearing about C&C, but honestly, it was a very trying week.

    The thing I like most about this whole thing is that the pictures might not look that meaningful to others, but they mean a lot to me. The fish are an inside joke with my husband, but suffice it to say that you are looking at very gnarly O-faces!
