I am so thankful to live in a climate with seasons. It gives the heart and mind so many chances to start anew. To never take for granted the now. It's just beautiful everyday.

Everyday Beauty: Frosty Morning Run
Day 13
I am not a good runner. I am pretty slow and I do not have the best form. But I run anyway.
I run because I feel healthy and strong by my own standards. I run because there are many who can not and I never want to take it for granted.
This morning was COLD. The kind of frosty that you can feel in your lungs. The first really cold fall day. It was beautiful.

Everyday Beauty: A Lesson From My 2 Year Old
Day 12: Everyday Beauty
She doesn't like me to comb her hair.
She likes to wear a princess dress and crown even when ghastly inappropriate.
Sometimes she has peanut butter on her cheeks and prefers to keep it there.
She has one pair of favorite shoes and wears them everyday.
And yet she is beautiful. Every. Day.
What would life be like if we all stayed so innocent?

Everyday Beauty: Deep Breath
Day 11
Sometimes all you can do is take a deep breath. You can feel the sun warm your bones. You look up and see the blue sky and know that it is enough.

Everyday Beauty: Homemade Soup
Day 10
This soul needs some soup. We are in the process of selling our house. This means a lot of running out the door at the last minute after cleaning all afternoon. It means eating somewhere simple and cheap and to pass the next hour. It means coming home and finding mud tracked everywhere. It wears you down after a while.
I took advantage of today to make some hot healthy soup and and make this place feel like home a little longer.
And it was beautiful. What replenishes your soul?

Everyday Beauty: Ugly slippers
Everyday Beauty: Ugly Slippers
Yes those are MY ugly slippers. Yes they are on my coffee table. What does any of this have to do with Everyday Beauty you ask?
My ugly slippers on the coffee table are a symbol for my time. Me time. No kiddos, cooking, cleaning, or hubby just me and my slippers. It lasts for approximately 15 minutes.
I wish I could say I do something productive, but I do those things throughout the day. Ugly slipper time is about gummy bears and bad tv. Its about being LAZY and it is beautiful.
