Monday: Laundry day. We didn't have a dryer for many years. A dryer is a very good thing.
Tuesday: Lake Vincent. We live in the desert and have been in a bit of a drought, so Tueday's all-day rain storm was a very good thing. We live lakeside. Across the street from our house is the Vincent's house. Every time it rains a "lake" forms in front of their house. The first picture was taken in the morning before it got very big, the 2nd was later that night.
Lake Vincent at night
Wednesday: We awoke to fog. It was gorgeous (again, rare in the desert)
Thursday: The Mackrorys came! Such a good thing!Grandpa greets the kids
Friday:Nathan reads a story to his mama.
Brielle performs, "Pants on the ground, pants on the ground, lookin like a fool with your pants on the ground."
Saturday: Nathan with the sugar cookie he just decorated:
Brielle tries a scary thing at the park, and loves it! That's a good thing.
Sunday: Happy Valentine's Day!
I gave the camera to Brielle and asked her to take pictures of good things. I was impressed with her choices and her photography: Brielle's Good Things:
I laughed at this one: She took a picture of her parent's engagement picture. She's in the picture. She's the gleam in her daddy's eye.
She turned the camera and took a picture of a very good thing!
Look for good things in your life. They're everywhere!

That IS a powerful lesson...I need to look for good things. What a great idea to do it daily for a week. It reminds me of Dad's talk on Sunday, how he "let's his heart be full of thanks unto God" when he "rises in the morning (Alma 37:37)" as he gives a prayer of gratitude each morning. Between the two of you, I am bound to have a wonderful week this week!
By the way, I love your photography...especially the one of Bre at the park. So, so cute
What a great post! It's always good to be reminded to look for the good in our day. It's so easy to get caught up in everyday life. After a long winter I've definitely felt a little down, so thank you for the reminder :).
I love your "good things" post. It reminded me of the scripture I sent Whitney this week. D & C 98:1
Verily I say unto you my friends, fear not, let your hearts be comforted; yea, rejoice evermore, and in everything give thanks;
Cute pictures, especially the ones by Brielle.
What a cute idea! I love it! "gleam in her daddy's eye . .. " he he! So funny. Aaah, Lake Vincent. How I wish all we had was a LAKE, rather than snow and ice everywhere! Lake Vincent IS a good thing. And that fog is beautiful!
What a great way of looking at things!!! I could use that this week! Brielle is totally going to be a photographer when she is older!
What an uplifting read!! It's so interesting how a little prespective can change a bad week to one full of "good things." Valentine's Day looks like it was fun at your house!!
