February ended up being exactly what I needed, at least the last half of the month.

Once I started physically feeling better again–for the first …
I’ve been wanting to start a new blog series for awhile now, but I just couldn’t pinpoint exactly how to go about doing it. I wanted it to focus on the joy of ordinary moments, and I wanted it to force me to slow down long enough to not only notice all the good things …
