Today was full of beautiful things. I had the carpets cleaned bright and early. Beautiful, like new. Then I got all dressed up and went to the BATC Design Board luncheon at Hamiltons' and had a Chicken Philly sandwich. Beautiful, grilled red peppers. Talked design with friends in the biz. Beautiful, people who get me. Then I took myself shopping for sweaters. Beautiful, cream turtleneck for $9.99 and my first sweater dress. Picked up my babies from their grandma Granges. Grocery shopped, and then had a Kit Kat Bar. Beautiful, need I tell you why?
This evening after dinner and my Key Scouters meeting, I have been paying bills online, (not so beautiful, but convenient and easy) and doing the very last of my shopping for Helens' room. I am on the hunt for a velvet quilt for her bed. Oh! They are beautiful. I shall have one some day I think.
The world is full of beauty because we have the ability to create. New foods, new works of art, new textiles, new friendships, new places and even new people. (See Talia's pic above.) I came upon this abstract work by Karen Silve and it really speaks to me, makes me happy. She created this art with only the talent in her hands, given by The Father, oil and canvas.
We are all so alike, we children of God. All so very unique at the same time. Different things are beautiful to each of us, and I hope that you take a moment to think about the beauties in your life, and then create some more.
