Finding the joy in the simple things!



























It all began with a half full bottle of water...






It was a fabulous October afternoon, an excellent day for fishing! We all loaded up in the truck and headed down to the lake - excited to catch something and enjoy the outdoors. We fished for hours and hours and had a great time! On the way back to camp the kids were becoming irritated with one another because they were hot and tired and hungry. Well wouldn't you know it...someone found a bottle of water, a half full bottle of water. So being quite the comedic bunch of kids, they began putting the bottle in front of their eyes and pulling faces trying to make the rest of the family laugh. It worked.....and was the funnest ride back to camp.
Each of us pulled awesome faces with our gigantic eyes peering out - a priceless moment of pure enjoyment. Living the simple life....enjoying the simple things....
Be content with what you have, rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. ~ Lao Tzu
