Little Things


Two awesome reasons to enjoy the little things:

First, little things can actually be the most important things in life.  Such as a smile from a friend, a hug from your grandchild, the smell of morning coffee brewing.

Second, the little things lead us to practice gratitude for what we have now.  Not tomorrow or next year.  Now!   This makes us happier.

By definition, Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.
 
Future or past thoughts can prevent us from seeing and enjoying the now and sometimes we need a little  reminder...

"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things."  
 Robert Brault


Hello Friends!  It has been a very long time since I have shared my creations with you.    Today is the day I am starting to share some posts again.  I have found a little creative grove that I am enjoying.

Here is my card it may not be grand or bedazzled for it is simple.   This creation gave me the reminder I needed that I can do amazing things just by starting out little.  A simple card gave me the permission I needed to enjoy the art of card making once again.  I do not have to make them grand or reach publication standards to be beautiful.  And friends this simple little card has led to more little lovely cards to share with you in the future.

This card was created using, "flower garden" from Carta Bella
