Happy heart, a monthly tale: January

Yet another month gone by. Time seemed so much slower when I was a kid. Maybe it's because we took the time to savor every second or was it that we were oblivious to the fact that time even existed. I may not have been able to savor every second this month, but some things, big and small, did bring a smile to my face.
