My Joyful Pause Moments: Weekly Recap.

What a great week it has been for joyful pause moments!  Yup, I do love July. Wish it could go on and on forever. Well, this week starts the official countdown to my birthday which is Friday. My hubby always teases me that I don’t have a birthDAY, but a birthWEEK because I usually  have lots going on. Can’t wait to celebrate the week of my almost 51st birthday!

Have you been capturing your joyful pause moments?  If not, I hope seeing mine this past week will inspire you to do so!
