I feel like everything is such a blur. It’s Thursday! {Again? Wasn’t it just Thursday?!!} Today we have the amazingly creative Ez of Creature Comforts. She’s got a fab flickr and a very nice package. {For real, could the name of her shop be cooler?} Check them all out after you read her post! {I love the first one on her list. That’s how I feel about munchkin!}

{My Daughter} As a single mom, much of my world revolves around my 10 year old daughter.  Through her eyes I get to see the world in better and brighter ways every day (she also has the best sense of humor and is constantly cracking me up).  As corny as it may sound, she is my morning light, my evening star, and the sunshine that lights my days.  I think she is the most beautiful thing in the entire world.

{Blogging} I honestly don’t know what I would be doing if I had not discovered blogging.  There is not a day that passes without leaving me inspired or moved by something or someone I come into contact with via my blog or blogland.  The connections and community of blogging are irreplaceable, and I am so thankful to be a part of it all.

{Music} Music is essential to me.  I can never remember an artists name or a song title (friend’s tease me about it), but regardless I am inspired daily by the music I listen to.  From classical to pop (and everything in between), I can’t live without it.

{Photography} Taking photos is a lot like breathing, in that it is utterly essential to my existence.  I love the stillness that takes me over when I am leaning in for a shot, or the way an image story is mapped out in my mind as I’m setting a photo up.  The entire process is wonderful and I hope that it is something that I will continue to learn and improve upon over time.

{Noticing Small Things and Mundane Details} This one seems kind of funny, but I guess I want to list it as one of the things that make my life beautiful because it hasn’t always been easy for me to find joy in the small details…and I know that when I take the time to not only look, but really see what is all around me, my life truly is filled with beauty.
