Homemade and handmade calzone There are some days which feel like nothing in particular happens, nothing spectacular, nothing awesome, nothing great. I admit it...I struggle sometimes to see the greatness, the joy, the beauty in each day. Sometimes, it just feels like one thing after another, with little time for gratitude or to be present. I know there is lots that I have to be grateful for, and yet, still some days it feels like a struggle. A struggle to get centered, a struggled to be mindful, a BIG struggle to be present. The pictures that are part of today's post are part of my everyday, and they remind me that there is some much beauty to be noticing, be thankful for and to continue my focus and journey towards gratitude, joy and positivity - not to mention creativity. A good example comes a few days ago when I was in my oldest daughter's room and the crystal teardrop hanging from the window caught the sunlight in just the right way and the room was suddenly flooded with rainbows. Rainbows all over the walls, the ceiling, the floor and they were dancing in a magical pattern. My daughters (they are so wise!) started immediately dancing around the room trying to catch the rainbows and squealing with delight. I was able to stop and take in the scene, it felt magical. I wanted the world to stop then, to quiet the thoughts of having to hurry up and get to work, that the house was a mess, or that I was feeling tired. It was a beautiful moment, literally spent chasing rainbows. Today I am grateful for the everyday - for no day is wasted. Enjoy the day! |
