Happy Friday! Do you have your Best Of link up ready? It can be anything from a great heartfelt post you ran across, a fun summer idea from a friend, to a new blog you {heart}. Typically, what I do is make a list during the week of things I find to be The Best and then I put them all together in one post. The blog world is so overwhelming that you can’t see it all. Just when I think I have, and I stumble across a new blog that is amazing and connected to about 20 other amazing blogs I have never seen. With a Best Of list we can make the blog world a little smaller!  But before you add your links, let me tell you my Best Of this week!

1. I might kiss Fishmama because she said “To be more Joyful, get out of the kitchen!” Can I get a hallelujah ladies?  And be sure to check out the other 6 in the list so far, too!

Everyone Needs More Joy!

2. I love Words To Live By, and Tracie Michelle has shared several on this post called Life Changing Quotes from The Past.

Here is my favorite:

“A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.” -Spurgeon

3.  I am absolutely over the moon for this place:

a beach cottage

It makes me want to leave it all behind and take my family to the beach forever!  Truly rest for a weary traveler!

Ok friends! Now it is your turn….what have you found to be The Best Of this week?
