“Magic is not necessarily a big thing. A delicious morning coffee with someone you care about, aware and grateful for that moment all the time it’s happening, is as wonder full as a rabbit out of a hat, if you’re willing to see it that way. Magic does not have to be in capitalized to be magical.” ~ Jonathan Carroll
“In solitude, we give passionate attention to our lives, to our memories, to details around us.” ~ Virginia Woolf
“The little things? The little moments? They aren’t little.” ~ John Kabat-Zinn
Dear friends, thank you so much for your visit this morning.
May you find great joy in the ‘little things’ ~ today, and every day.
And…
May the angels walk beside you, wherever you roam.

Good morning Sandra! It is the little things that bring joy…that combined makes a life. The images are gorgeous and every quote so perfect with each photo. The little girl in the garden reminds me of my Ella Mae, crusty bread and butter…simple but satisfying, ripe tomatoes that are summer’s bounty, a little one with big dreams…all simple things but what joy they bring. You bring joy in this lovely post. Have a joy-filled Sunday❤️
Dear Pam, thank you so much for your kind words. The little girl does remind one of precious Ella Mae. Ella Mae would be just as excited over rows of blooms. Wishing you and your lovely family a lovely day. Blessings to you all, dear friend.
A breath of sunshine here on your post! Thanks for the lovely photos and thoughtful sayings. Wishing you a beautiful Sunday, Sandra. xox

Good morning Sandra! Oh, how I love this, truly the small things in life that we cherish are not small at all. Every quote is perfection, isn’t it? Being grateful every day for the birds that sing, for the green of nature, a smile on a child’s face, the love of a friend, these are things that bring joy to our hearts. Happy weekend, friend. xo Lidy
