The Simple Things

Have you ever noticed how it is the simple things in life than can really make your day?
My birthday was in December and upon returning home one day that week, I found a gift on my front porch from my aunt who lives down the road.  When I opened it up, I found inside a snowman candle holder- one she had seen me admire at a craft show recently.  I was so excited!  I love this little guy so much!  He isn't super expensive, he can only sit out for a few months a year, but he gives me so much joy.  The light shining out of him casts great patterns on the table and walls, impacting all of the space around him with his glow.
Something so simple gives so much lasting joy!

Over the Weekend

This past weekend was spent mostly being lazy.  My husband and I have only ever taken on putting together a puzzle only one other time- about this time last year.  I bought a puzzle this week, thinking it would be super fun.  It was fun for me, maybe less fun for the husband.  It was definitely harder than I thought it was going to be!  But here we are- 1000 pieces stronger than we were two days ago!
