sunshine + dogs

with the cooler weather upon us, we have been making it an evening routine to bring mac to the dog park.

he lives for the cooler weather, playing with other dogs, and having the freedom of a few acres to run and sniff around.

mac isn't the only one who is adoring this weather...

the warm sun on my face, a crisp fall breeze, my snuggly baby in my arms, and my husband smiling from ear to ear because he feels the same immense happiness in this moment that i do. my heart is so full.

tonight was one of those nights where my heart felt still in the moment. i had this inner peace that i am exactly where i am suppose to be in life. gratitude to our Lord for blessing me with my family and  health.

i am trying hard every morning to wake up with an optimistic attitude, be present in the day, and enjoy the small things. i encourage you all to do the same. we can't choose our situation, but we can choose our attitude. (someone remind me of this during difficult times) it can be so easy to get wrapped up in the unimportant things in life.

i have found the happier i am, the more i am able to make others happy. its a wonderful vicious cycle to be in.

if only every evening could be filled with sunshine and dogs..
