This year I've been participating in it's a "Beautiful Life" link up, that Melissa started over at The Inspired room. I have learned a lot from others, and through it all I have tried to take the time to appreciate what is beautiful in my life-
Because it has caused me to look more closely and not miss those quiet beautiful blessings- the ones beyond price- I have learned to love even the little things more deeply. And I believe that by counting all the Beautiful things in my life- children, grandchildren, friends, family, home, health etc. I've learned to count on the Lord more.
I valve the little gifts and blessings more- yesterday I tried to count or just think in my mind some of the little things that are blessings and beautiful to me- some may seem silly- but I thought I would share a couple.
- scented candles- {I told you silly, but I love the way they can bring back memories and add such a "I'm Home feeling to my home.}
Notes & Artwork from Grandchildren- yesterday I was looking through a few- just made me so happy.
And of course all the little quiet things that make my day lovely- the fog sitting on the house tops, breakfast with my Husband, talks on the phone with my children, sleeping a little bit better, and one less "Hot Flash" =) yes, sadly I'm of that age.
Thanks for visiting me here and listening to my ramblings- I'm also over at Blissful today- Giving you some ideas about Home Entertaining.
