Sometimes, when I have a day filled with more downs than ups, it’s easy for me to slip into a grouchy mood. To dwell on the negatives moments of the day and to forget how very fortunate and blessed I really am.

This evening, instead of giving into the urge to further linger on the moments that don’t bring me joy, I chose to revisit a moment that took place four years ago this month. 

Looking at these pictures again tonight, playing with them in Lightroom and Photoshop, and reflecting on my every day life with my amazing husband, I am reminded of how happy I really am. At the end of the day, as he often reminds me, it’s family that really matters.
