The Art Of Enjoying Life ♥

Someone told me this week that my ability to enjoy the smallest pleasures in life as if they were the highest blessing was an art in itself. If that's true, it could be the art I excel at the most! Because on any given sunny day, I can convince my friends to take the afternoon off from work and come swim at the lake with me. Easily! It's an art form I strongly advise you to try. Makes every day magical.

I can even make a little animated gif of our silly diving techniques and find it awesome. Even though Ramiro tells me gifs are so 90's. Enjoying the little things in life = everyday bliss (guaranteed!).

What do you say to animated gifs? Yay or nay?

  11. Canada is so beautiful!! This makes me want to visit so much. My husband has family in Montreal...his mom moved to the U.S. from Quebec when she was a little girl. Also, there's nothing wrong with GIFs! They can be really cute and/or hilarious.
