In the midst of an <\/span>emotionally gut-wrenching, grueling week<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span>, these are but a few of the Moments that made me smile.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
His hat is a giant 50-gallon trashcan!<\/p>\n
I could just imagine the family\u2019s fun building this guy!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
I love how the snow seems to cuddle the tree and the lights cast a warm glow across the pair.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
The joy of walking with my mom and my dog.<\/p>\n
The sign made me think of Sheryl Crow\u2019s Live It Up Like There\u2019s No Turn Left<\/i>
<\/em>
<\/em> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
I love lights!<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
My mind churned with story ideas!<\/p>\n
Snow is fully intact on the left tree branches for as far as the eye can see, while the right trees are bare.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
I am always excited when I see signs of elusive wildlife.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Warren spotted this eagle as we traveled down the highway.<\/div>\n
I had two Moments with this one: I\u2019m seeing a freaking eagle in the wild!<\/div>\n
One of my friends would shake her head and laugh that I am, once again, stopping my car to take photos of nature. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Children playing tag on the playground before school begins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
I love the contour and contrast of this image\u2026<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
of this one, too.<\/div>\n
I also love how effortless this delicate balance seems to be in nature.<\/div>\n
The double pleasure on this one? <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

This zoomed out shot of the above picture made me chuckle.<\/p>\n

\n
The only contour my young adults would likely see in this image is that of a penis.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
What about you? What moment(s) excited you this week? Made you feel playful? Stirred a simple sense of happiness? Share it here and spread the joy.<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
