50 [six] stop and appreciate the small stuff

 

Lately I've found myself taking the time to snap a photo or twelve of the tiniest of friends that cross my path. I'm fascinated with the beauty and detail in these minute creatures. 

I've also found myself appreciating the small, beautiful moments that cross my path each day - a text from one of my kids checking in on me; laughing with my mom over something ridiculous one of us said or did; listening to my kids spend time with each other, sharing their passions;  chilly mornings that require a sweater; car sing alongs; the first bite of a greatly anticipated meal.
