What illuminates your life...your day...a moment in time?
What illuminates your life...your day...a moment in time?
I admit I do not stop to think about it often enough...
to give thanks for the wonderful things in my life
and the promise each day holds.
My children - their laughter, the curiosity, their words.
My husband (on most days!).
My parents.
My friends, new and old.
Sunlight...and moonlight.
The sound, sight, and smell of the ocean.
A good Mocha on a cold crisp morning.
A good glass on wine while watching the sunset.

A great piece of jewelry also illuminates my day -
I am a girl after all!
I was cruising around the Internet and found a
Her words are inspiring...
Her photography amazing...
(she even made Bubblegum Alley in San Luis Obispo look beautiful)
But mostly the love for her family is heartwarming.
Well, Lisa also designs amazing jewelry!
I have been in LOVE with her unique designs since I first saw her site.
There are all so fabulous, that at first,
I couldn't even wrap my head around which one to choose...
and then I saw the Family Crest necklace...
and better yet, my hubby gave it to me on our wedding anniversary.
And you should see my current wish list!

Love the necklace! I am a follower. My boys iluminate my life! :) Have a great Monday Holly.
Follow, follow, follow! That is an awesome giveaway! And I love how you began this post with your take on illuminating. Very, very nice! It is my hope that Christ's love "illuminates" within me so that, in some small way, I can show the "light of Christ" to those I encounter.
Love this! What a fantastic giveaway!
Of course, I follow 504 Main and your wedding blog. You're also in my blogroll.
What illuminates my life? My list would look very much like yours. My kids, my husband, sunrises, sunsets, reading new comments on my blog....I could go on and on!
Wow..you are now doing some great giveaways! So, I follow and my anti depressant illuminates my life.
Adore that necklace. Love illuminates my life! I just became a follower. I've been a reader for some time but had yet to hit Follow. You've been on my Blogroll for a while now.
I lurke, I'll admit it. I need to be better with the comment love.
So, please be so kind as to send me my new necklace!
Leigh
This is SO pretty! I, of course follow you! :)
Ok, so I know it's an obvious answer, but my son absolutely illuminates my day. I seriously am more in awe and more in love with that little boy every single second!
