"There are no ordinary moments." ~Way of the Peaceful Warrior
{this moment} - a Friday ritual. A photo (or few) capturing moments from the week. Simple, special, extraordinary moments. Moments I want to pause, savor and remember.
Served up with the weekly {Smile-Up} - gratitude practices to love and appreciate your life.
If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' and 'smile up' in the comments for all to find and see.

{this moment}
[reunited with two of our best friends after almost 3 years! Missed them!]
{Smile Up}:
☺ Two of our best friends visiting us for the week!
☺ Midnight swims--and our "macho" friend being the slowest to get into the water (ha!)
☺ Beach fun!
☺ Amazing girl talks!
☺ Barbecues with friends!
☺ Playing sociables; all the very silly things that happen in that game!
☺ Laughing until your stomach hurts!
☺ Silly youtube videos
☺ Wednesday market with my Dana :)
☺ Jumping into the lake in my underwear after sweating at the market--couldn't make it home to the beach house ;)
☺ Girl time!
☺ Planning a trip to the tattoo convention in Calgary to get tattooed by Dana! Super excited!
☺ Campfires and exploring with friends
☺ Kitty belly rubs! And how much our cats love us (now if only they'd stop being sketchy around strangers ;p)
☺ Feeling like you're taking a step back in time--craziness!
☺ When friends bring you cookies when you're working :)
☺ Hugs! Always Hugs! ^_^

Lessons of the week:
Sticking up for yourself is always best, even when people try to turn it around back at you. Stick up for yourself anyway! ☀ Talk! So you can feel better and reach some resolve ☀ Listen to your heart--not the excuses you make up in your head. ☀ Choose wisely the friends you want to tell your deepest secrets--and be grateful for the amazing friends in your life that you can trust. ☀ I say this one again: sometimes people are meant to leave your life, move on and accept that you're on different paths. Be grateful for the good times and release the rest ☀ Accept yourself as you are and remember that you Are a Good Person. ☀
Hope you're all having a beautiful wonderful blissful week!
What are you grateful for this week? :)
