Thankful Thursday: Savoring

I am involved in a research project right now that studies resilience in couples who have experienced stroke. SAVORING has been identified as a protective factor against depression and mood change. Follow @uspringresearch for more info on this amazing study. ⠀

My FAVORITE part of savoring is “relishing ordinary experiences.” I love this photo because my sisters and I just found ourselves on the floor, talking and laughing, with baby Calvin crawling over us, and it was a beautifully ordinary moment in time that we captured, so we can savor the happiness of being together for years to come. ⠀
