{having fun with Photoshop}
Happy Thursday! Almost the weekend :) Yesterday I decided to focus on appreciating the simple joys in my day...those little things that bring a smile to my face and joy to my heart...here is a sampling of the delights of my day yesterday...
my morning latte...
cannoli from Il Giardino del Dolce {I think I'm addicted}
happy flowers in my garden...
fresh cut flowers from my garden to brighten the house...
...carried inside in my favorite chippy old basket...
a gift from my daughter...a sweet heart in a little red box, with her picture on one side, for me to look at when she is at school and I am missing her...
an independent two year old who can dress herself...well, kind of...
I hope you all find simple joys in your day today!

have a wonderful day tracey:)
Such a cute post! Love the 2 year olds idea of fashion. I got a 3 year old here with the same sense. She was running around outside the other day with her bathing suit on and knee socks. Why knee socks? So her feet didn't get cold! Duh, stupid mom!
Your simple joys are simply marvellous! Thanks for sharing these with us this morning!
Hope you continue to have a very beautiful day!
WOW! Your images are awsome! Especially the third one! Hughs Anja
I just love those little feet in that last photo, Tracey. Precious!!!
Thanks for making me think of simple joys. I will try that today. First was walking the dog.
Enjoy your day!
This is a beautiful post! Thanks for sharing such beautiful images and that coffee...YUM, can you tell I'm addicted!
The adorable gift & toddler feet are the sweetest!
I LOVE that chippy basket!
Have a great Thursday!

YES. This is what IT is all about. Savoring the joys that abound if we really stop for a moment and LOOK! Always a wonderful reminder. LOVE your gorgeous pictures, too!

Good Morning,
Tracey... I just loved this sweet and simple post... a little mad about the canoli seeing that I am on a diet :) the upside is I am down 8.2 (lbs) in 8 days not to bad, not complaining anyway. I hope you a lovely and simple day.
Smiles,
sheila
What a lovely post, and all from your camera! Thanks for sharing your day with us.
I love those sandals and socks, LOL! My little rascal is so silly like that too. Must be the age, LOL!

Carol
Beautiful pictures! You are truly talented!
Sweet! We all need to stop and do this!
Your chippy basket of flowers photos are beautiful. I have photoshop and can't seem to figure out any thing on it :( You do a beautiful job though. Your little ones attempt at getting dressed gave me a chuckle. Too cute!
Personally, I dress like your two year old sometimes. What's wrong with that? Beautiful post. Love the present. Too cute.
What a heart warming post;)
Blessings,
Shawn
Love the last one, so sweet...I think she might be on to something there! :) Can't wait to meet you sweetie...FC will be a blast! xo
i love all your gorgeous photos! simple joys are the best, thank you for the reminder! enjoy the weekend. susan
lovely post. Its really what life is all about! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
OK....I slobbered over your latte and your cannoli....I smiled at the lovely flowers....my heart made a sigh over your daughter's lovely gift to you and I laughed at your 2 yr olds shoe-sock combo!
Thanks for the emotion-roller ride! I NEVER leave your blog without a smile...thanks!
Denise
Beautiful post. Why do you have to show the coffee though??? Just mean...and I thought we were friends!
What a sweet post Tracey! Love that basket! Now I am wishing I had picked up one that looks just like this one. I have looked at it several times and now it is probably gone. :(
Can you believe I don't think I have ever had a cannoli?? I must remedy that soon. First I have to find a place that makes the.lol.
Love the latte cup, the flowers, your two year old's socks and shoes. Too cute!! Aren't they fiercely independent at that age? My darling gd Annika (3 years old) wants to do everything for herself and I mean everything. Sometimes she gets her shoes on the wrong feet and I want to fix them and she says NO...lol.
They are so precious at that age. ENJOY!!
Blessings~
Owwwwww..i love that little feet.........on the last picture !!
So special...............that is joy !!
Joy is in the little things of life ........HAPPY WEEKEND !!
With lots of joy !! hugs from Ria
I just ordered a few things from you=0) I can't wait for them to arrive!

Your photographs are so beautiful. Your flowers are so pretty, what's nicer than a cup of coffee and a delicious cake and, your daughter looks a picture in her stripey socks and sandles.It surely is the smaller and simpler things in life that bring us the most joy. XXXX

Hi!

Melinda
Oh my gosh Tracey - what beautiful photos AND gorgeous "simple joys" you have surrounding you!!! The cannoli looks so good - and your daughter... I'm swooning! Do those sandals come in my size? :-D
Have a beautiful evening!!!

Hi Tracey,
Love all the beautiful photos you have shared today.
Especially the sweet red box with the heart with the photo of your daughter.
Your sweet 2 year old, is a lot like my daughter used to be, when she dressed herself.... how precious.
We do need to appreciate the little things, as they do bring us so much joy.
Have a happy weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
What a wonderful post Tracey. The simplest things often contain the most beauty.
I love the independent child comment. When I'm up front singing at church and my hubby arrives in late with the kids, I do a quick scan of what they're wearing and it's often very independent :o)
Have a blessed day.

Beautiful images. Joys indeed!
Thanks for sharing!
ps. I went to a flea marked in Amsterdam recently and came across a vintage burlap sack and I thought of you!
I was bummed that I saw it on the last day of my trip and I didn't really want to spend 10 euros they asked for it. Now, of course, I kind of wish I had. Oh well, next time...
Hello, your photos are so beautiful!
I´m in love with every image!
Have a nice day,
Yvonne

What lovely simple joys. I better find where to get one of those wrapped up chocolate treats in Utah. Yummy.
It is true that the little things are the happiest things.
Your two year old has happy style! That's always beautiful/gorgeous! =] Er, I can see why you're addicted....
I started humming that Fred Astaire song to myself, somewhere around the forget-me-nots ~ "heaven! (doodeedoo) I'm in heeeeaven!" You know the song, "Dancing Cheek to Cheek!" Yup, that's how this post feels. I'm going to go and look again!
Beautiful....
Morning! I am so behind, and you've reminded me to play with photoshop. I love all the photos, but the last one is with the argyle socks and sandals is priceless!
