Close your eyes. Take a deep breath, a small pause…
Take this one single moment away from your busy day to remember and really see all the beauty we are surrounded with every single day. The beauty that we all seem too busy to look at. The rising sun, falling leaves, the snow caped mountains, or the crashing sea.
Embrace this.
Embracing… It is something I am just really learning how to do, and hopefully with grace. Embracing where life has brought you from, to the journey it is leading you towards.
With a quite hotel room, a snuggled baby, and a sleeping husband I am able to embrace typing this post in the hotel restroom. Because if typing in the restroom means knowing that just beyond this door my family is tucked away sleeping peacefully. Then I will gracefully embrace finding the beauty in poor wall paper choices and tight quarters.
It is believing that somewhere in this world there is actually someone reading this who will stop to enjoy the sunrise a little more this morning, who may just take that extra little moment to savor their own beauty found in their life…
Because if I believe that I can find beauty in a hotel bathroom, on a ten inch screen, with those poor wall paper choices, and the tight quarters to share the beauty in my day with you, you may just remember to share the beauty of yours too.
The breath taking surroundings that we found today were along the shoreline of New Haven, CT. It really is stunning what you will see when you just take a moment to look…
Where do you find your simple beauty in your days…?
