#100happypearls Recap

Did you all participate or follow our #100happypearls photos on instagram? If not, don't worry...I'm here to fill you in. I'm also here to encourage you to do something similar to what Laurie and I did. Taking one photo for 100 days of something that brings you a little bit of joy every day is a wonderful idea. I can't tell you how much fun it was to go back through my photos and remember the blessings, good food, fun events, hard times and milestones that happened in my family in the past 100 days. And you don't have to post your photos anywhere online but just taking one a day for yourself might do you a world of good sometime. I know I get in ruts where I feel like everyone else's life is (fill in the blank) than mine. Really though, my life is wonderful and full of blessings every day.

So, here is to remembering our blessings and making it through hard days. Let us know if you take us up on the #100happypearls challenge!
