<\/span>There are too many moments that brightened my minutes this past week.<\/span>
<\/span>
Once<\/span><\/span> you begin noticing the fleeting joy in your life, those instances are a bit like Lay\u2019s\u2122<\/span> potato chips, it\u2019s almost impossible to pick just one.<\/span><\/div>\n
Here are a few of the highlights\u2026<\/span> <\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

This was taken in my work parking lot, at the end of a pretty grueling day.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

A few days later, I pulled my car over on the highway to capture this most moving and inspirational moment.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Look at the beautiful luster and the lines of my spectacular new mixing bowls\u2026 <\/span>I waited years to find just the right (size, color, style) set.<\/span><\/div>\n
Aren\u2019t they simply superb?<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Only a brother can get away with this type of affection.<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We drove three-and-a-half hours to watch Beauty\u2019s college team play. <\/span>We couldn\u2019t help but laugh as this rogue cloud swept back and forth across the sky, directly overhead.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Before the game started, we waited out the rain. <\/span>As I tried to write, Warren kept tickling and teasing me.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sibling love lights up everything.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

What instances of joy have lit up your day or made you laugh out loud this week?<\/span>

Soon\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
