There is Joy...

in the everyday.

Finding it is not always easy.

Simple...

Beautiful.

Ordinary, yet not.

When you step back and become an observer; an onlooker; things seem different.

Living life as a series of moments; by the minute; with a smile; things are different.

Hearing deep dances of belly laughter coming from the next room, and really stopping to listen, brings a smile to my soul, because have you really stopped to listen to an almost two year old's giggles of delight?

I'm learning to shut my mouth, and open my heart...

to the beauties that are my children...

the beauty that surrounds me...

the beauty that is my life...

It is a beautiful life.
