The Little Things

This week seemed so incredibly long!  It was mostly due to the fact that Caleb was traveling for work this week, a situation I was less than thrilled about.  Instead of moping and feeling lonely, I got my butt into gear and got so much done!  I've learned over and over again that it's my attitude in response to life's circumstances that really makes the difference.  Here are some little things I chose to find happiness in this week.

What little things brightened your week?

  3. I love your outlook on your responses; very mature of you. I guess the highlight of my week, was crossing things off my to-do list. I get some weird satisfaction when i put a line through a task i need to do lol

  10. Glad you made the most of your week! I need to learn from you :) I definitely did not 'make lemonade' out of the lemons I got this week. Nothing was done and now I regret it! Can't wait to see your pantry AND your painted craft...

  18. I hurt my knee from my new running shoes, which made me have to trade them in for different new shoes, but these ones are cuter and neon pink! So even though I won't be running till my knee heels, I can stare at the pink prettiness!

  19. That soup looks fantastic... I'm actually looking forward to winter this year (I live in New Zealand), just because there's so many soups and hearty stews I want to cook!

  20. it's so true - how we deal with things are a choice we make, not forced upon us. the little thing that made my week was definitely the amount of bagels i ate, hah! back to the gym tomorrow...
