For those of you who have been following my blog for awhile, you are aware that on most Fridays I like to do a photo dump from my Instagram account of the little daily things that just make me smile. So, these are the things that put a smile on my face this week.

A friend brought me a rose just because…#makesmesmile

I would love for you to follow me on Instagram. And I recently joined twitter and post additional photos there throughout the week. So please join me @simplylifestuff.

I hope you have many daily things that make you smile. What is one thing that made you smile today? Sometimes, it is the little things.

I thought I would also share this photo because it is featured today on the blog Inside My Glitching Mind. It was taken on a hiking trip on the Appalachian Trail at Carver’s Gap.

I hope you have many things over the weekend that just make you smile. Get out you camera and document the every day things that bring you joy. I plan on smiling and laughing and enjoying everything about this day.

I love photos. I like to capture the every day in pictures. One of my hobbies is to learn more about photography and what settings on my Canon captures the moment exactly as I saw it. I cherish the many photos I have taken over the years, and I love sitting with a cup of hot tea and reminiscing. I have started following a few blogs lately that simply inspire me. So, thank you to all these talented artists.

To challenge myself, I decided to start capturing one moment a day that just makes me smile. So, I started a new account on Instagram called simplylifestuff. Feel free to follow me. One photo a day posted to Instagram and a photo dump on the blog on Fridays with #makesmesmile. Here we go:
