Our challenge today was to use this quote in some way...even if just inspiration. I loved the quote as soon as I read it and decided to use it as my title. I really think that this is a true statement. Happiness in life isn't about the big things (sure they make life exciting and fun), but it's the little things that can give you daily joy. I constantly struggle with this though. I'm always looking for the next big thing to look forward to. And it's hard for me to sit down and play playdough with the kids without thinking about other things I'd rather be doing. But I'm sure when I'm 80 I will wish I had these days back.
Similarly, as we contemplate moving into the city I'm already lamenting over the loss of my garden space. It's been very soul nourishing to have this yard and to do the work in it. Growing space is definitely on the most have list for the new house!

I love the sentiment of the quote, which is a lesson I am trying to learn day after day. You really captured the meaning of it with your choice of pictures. I just love the long tab behind the pictures and it's a great way to use 4 pictures - I always feel like an even number isn't quite right, but this is perfect!
