Today’s Small Moment:
In the midst of losing my dad—and my brother just four months ago—I’ve been overwhelmed by how deeply simple kindness can matter. Friends, extended family, and even people I’ve never met have been a quiet anchor in these hardest days.Grief has also shown me who steps forward and who stays silent. That truth stings, but it’s grounding. It reminds me to lean toward the people whose compassion shines without being asked.
This photograph came from a morning when I rushed up the Blue Ridge Parkway, hoping to reach Pine Spur Overlook before sunrise (several years ago). I arrived later than I planned, yet the light that waited there still found me—quiet and steady, much like the support that has carried me through these days. It might sound corny and cliché, but it’s true.

Today’s #3GoodThings
I took this photo in autumn at the Peaks of Otter Lodge, looking out toward Sharp Top. The empty Adirondack chairs hit differently now—reminding me that Dad won’t be sitting beside me on photo outings anymore. But they also remind me of the good that’s still here, held in the memories and in the moments I can continue to create. This image will be added to my gallery soon.1. I’m grateful for all the times Dad did sit with me—quiet, simple moments that shaped so much of who I am.
2. I’m grateful for the beauty that still shows up, even on the hard days—like the light on Sharp Top and the calm of the lake.
3. I’m grateful for this craft of photography, which gives me a way to keep feeling connected, even when life shifts in ways I never wanted.#ThreeGoodThings #SmallMoments #BlueRidge #Virginia #mindfulness #ayearforart #NaturePhotography #grateful

This cross was my mom’s, and after she died, Dad wore it every single day for twenty-five years. When he was moved to palliative care, and it wasn’t on him, I was terrified it had been lost.
Not because it was valuable, but because it felt like a piece of both of them. Yesterday I found it in the bag of clothes we’d brought to the hospital when we still hoped he’d recover. The relief that washed over me was overwhelming.
The first good thing is that it’s safe.
The second is that it still feels like a link to both my parents.
The third is the reminder that love leaves traces we can hold onto, even when the people are gone.
Bonus good thing: taking this photo helped me slow down and breathe for a moment — something I really needed.

1. I felt the weight today of realizing that when I lost my dad, I didn’t just lose a parent — I lost the one person in this family who always stood quietly but firmly in my corner.
2. Grief has a way of stripping things down to the truth. It shows you who reaches out, who disappears, and who your heart can no longer lean on. That clarity hurts… but it’s also strangely grounding.
3. In the middle of all this heartbreak, I’m discovering that the people who show up — the ones who check in, who simply see me — are the ones keeping me upright. Chosen support is turning out to be a lifeline.

I'm heartbroken as my dad passed away late last night. But, after some thought, I can still find #3goodthings
1. Dad is at peace now and for that I am grateful.
2. I got to spend these last years with him under my roof, creating memories I’ll hold onto forever.
3. Love doesn’t end here—the love he gave continues to shape me, even in the hardest moments.
Bonus: I’m holding close the memory of our last real vacation together at what used to be my grandparent's cabin on Lake Superior — and this photo reminds me that even in grief, there is still beauty to look toward.

Got a bit behind on my Small Moments posts. Yesterday was a hard day. They had to bring dad to the ER from the rehab facility as he’d had quite a sundowning episode. Turned out he has Flu A and pneumonia in the lower left lobe. No real symptoms, no abnormal temp, nothing.
Infections like this are known to make dementia sundowning episodes a lot worse. He’s on IV antibiotics and we are hoping to get a geriatric team consult to help navigate his journey in dementia. This is so hard.

Today’s small moment — turning off the lights. Sounds easy, right? Not this morning. I’m recovering from a head cold, seriously sleep-deprived, and what should’ve been a simple task turned into a smart-home comedy.
It all started when one Alexa command turned all the lights on. Ceiling, cabinets — everything. From there, nothing behaved logically. Asking Alexa to turn off the ceiling light switched on the right cabinet. Turning that off lit up the center and left cabinets. “Turn off all the lights” only managed to turn off one of them.
That’s when I realized some lights are controlled by Alexa and others by Google, and I either forgot—or never knew—the exact code words for each. All the while, I’m carefully choosing my words to avoid waking my husband by turning on the headboard light directly over him.
Five minutes later, the room was finally dark. At that point, going back to bed might’ve been the smartest move of all.

Today’s small moment: while browsing Amazon for games and puzzles suited for someone with dementia, I stumbled across Rack-O — the classic “rack ’em & score” card game.
Instantly transported back to the 1970s, when my friends and I played it endlessly. We absolutely loved that game, and seeing it again brought a simple, unexpected smile.

Nothing dramatic happens when you disengage. No explosion. No clear break.
Just fewer questions asked. Fewer moments shared. Until one day, trust is gone.
Small choices matter. https://www.tiktok.com/@emberhartco/video/7591553470570777878

Today's Small Moment - looking back on this day in 2023 when I was driving from Virginia to Michigan to bring dad to live with us. As always, I have to stop at one (or both) of the parks on either end of the Bridge. This shot is from the Colonial Michilimackinac Historic State Park in Mackinaw City in Michigan's Lower Peninsula.
With the snow on the shoreline and the view through the trees, this is one of my favorite views of the Mighty Mac.
This will be uploaded to my gallery at BeautifulSunPhotography.com soon.

Today's Small Moment - looking back on this day in 2023 when I was driving from Virginia to Michigan to bring dad to live with us. As always, I have to stop at one (or both) of the parks on either end of the Bridge. This shot is from the Colonial Michilimackinac Historic State Park in Mackinaw City in Michigan's Lower Peninsula.
