Sometimes Everything is Beautiful

Sometimes everything just fits. Sometimes you look around and you know it’s not perfect, but it just makes you smile. Sometimes you can see the good even when you have to look over the things that are in the way. For the last few days I’ve been fortunate enough to see the beauty in everything. Maybe it’s the weather. I’m serious (stop laughing!). I’m one of those people that would have a very hard time in a place like Washington State, where it can be dreary and grey for great periods of time. For the last 2 days it’s been positively beautiful here. The air feels like Spring and my attitude has felt renewed with it. It’s the same feeling I get when I listen to music that I really LOVE or being by the ocean. There’s just an energy! Whoo Hoo!

Having said all that beauty stuff, I wanted to also say that my girls have been fortunate enough to have great people come into their lives as friends recently. There is a girl (I really wanted to put “little” in front of that, but, gee whiz, they are all getting too old for that phrase) who has become friends with two of my girls who is just so lovely (that made me sound old!). She really is! She doesn’t come from a large family, but comes over and jumps right into the mix here. She helps the girls with their chores. She’ll run to see what’s wrong with a little one who’s crying. She was gracious enough to sit through a meal that I know she did not enjoy, but still said thank you. I’m just so happy that my girls have friends like her in their lives! AND I’m so happy that there are parents out there that are working so diligently to help a child grow into such a great friend and person in general.

I guess I’m saying all of that because I’m feeling so blessed to have the people in our lives that we do. (humming the Johnny Appleseed tune……)

Hope that wasn’t all too mushy and “lovely” for you!

Here are a few pics of the beauty I’ve seen in the last couple of days

I wish you all a day of seeing the beauty all around you.

Good night~
