Beautiful and Lovely

Posted on by
It is so easy to get bogged down in life. It seems like my days are endless rounds of dirty dishes, laundry, cleaning up messes, homework, then more dishes, messes and laundry. It is really easy to let myself get tired, bored and ornery.

This morning I had a moment of quiet. The kitchen was picked up, the 4 oldest punks were tucked away at school and baby boy was playing quietly.

I had just picked some peaches off our tree and I was slicing one up for my breakfast.The sun was streaming in my kitchen window across the bowl I was slicing into. It looked so pretty. It was one of those small, priceless moments that is sweet and beautiful.

I sprinkled a little sugar on my peaches and I felt the cool morning breeze on my face. The quiet home, the clean kitchen, happy baby and a bowl of sweet peaches.

It was one of those beautiful moments that brushes out the cobwebs in my brains and flexes my creative muscles.

I think in this busy, busy life we need to look for the moments the fulfill us. Those moment that make us pause and remember how beautiful, how wonderful this world around us really is.

  1. Thanks so much for sharing this lovely moment. They come infrequently enough that I certainly don’t mind “stealing” someone else’s!

  2. I can’t agree more! It’s such a blessing to look for the things to be grateful for, and to find beauty in our every day lives. Thanks for the reminder!
