My sister calls my house a Pinterest house. I have these beautiful wooden sayings and at one time tiles hung across the walls. At some point I began surrounding myself in scripture around the house. I needed a constant reminder when I walked through every room that God carried me. I have signs that day trust, hope, grace, love. They in all the changes that I make, will remain. They aren't just beautiful they are the source to alot of healing. I also have these beautiful collage photographs of my family as we grown over the years. The wall that holds them tells years of stories of then. I pray to add to that beauty this year.
The beautiful thing about trying something is that even if you miss a step you get back up and go for it. ![]()
I may have missed the beauty of walking yesterday, but trust me it didnt go unnoticed. I am making plans to enjoy walking without pain over the next few months. I long for those moments when I can again appreciate the beautiful nearby places. ![]()

What is beautiful about my neighborhood? Once I stop laughing at all the things I have complained about, I can appreciate the few neighbors I have taken the opportunity to know. The ones who dont just wave as you go in and out, but the ones who notice you if your gone to long. I can also appreciate how the seasons come and go on the street and the families decorate for various occasions. I recall when babies came home and now you see graduation signs in the yard. ![]()

The colors of fall are always beautiful. They signify change in all shades. I love how the dark green shifts to lighter shades and it mixes with the oranges and yellows. I don't even know when the colors start to shift, its a silent transition that takes over and makes you look st the same scenery differently. This week I am looking at all the changes from the outside of my tent. Just being thankful that there is beauty all around me.
I wanted a definition of subtle before I dove into this topic. I mean I understand giving subtle hints but this made me think a little deeper like how there is a subtle pink in the clouds or how the moon has a subtle shade of gray in it. It is the subtle in almost everything that makes it uniquely beautiful. The dash of color admit my dark walls, the soft glow of the street light on the dark corner. It isnt so much that these things are unnoticeable but more often taken for granted. Today as I sat at the picnic table and watched the leaves continue to fall, I saw the single pines gather in piles and cast a beautiful cover over the playground.![]()

We are heading into the weekend, there is no better time to sit and write! I may have to share a few beautiful things I see throughout the weekend!
I just saw a movie that kept making a reference to always look up. I can remember the details and of course I cried becauae it was a beautiful movie, but don't dare ask me what movie. All I can tell you is that I often just look up. You might call this cheating but I especially enjoying popping the trunk of my car and looking at images that pop up on the camera screen. I sit there and think just how beautiful it is. I also have this friend for a very long time who exchanged the most beautiful photos of skylines filled with beauty. There is so much to say about looking up, but the reality is if you are looking up, you can't be down.![]()

The closest window to me is the sliding glass door. I look out at it often through the mirrored blinds that hold the pools reflection. Watching the water and small waves is beautiful. There is a single plant in a beautiful white box that I have hopes dug down in its roots. I welcome the fruit of the soursop. I can already see the next plant and where it will sit on the patio and the beautiful smell it will give off when the wind blows or I swim past it while doing laps. I enjoy both the beauty of what I see in that big window now and in the plans I have in my future.![]()

In the day to day, I overlook the weeds poking up from the lawn, but just today I saw within the weeds a food source for the butterflies that frequently visit me when I walk outside. I dug a little deeper and found it to be a source of sweet nectar. ![]()

There are countless things I overlook and take for granted. Even me when I look in the mirror and complain about my reflection amd how she looks back at me. She couldn't be more beautiful for everything she is and she isn't, she is me.![]()

Journaling can either allow you to free write your feelings or think them through. Thinking about beautiful things I've experienced, I also think about the most painful. I remember graduating from high school, getting married, having children. I also can see the beauty in healing after broken relationships and spending time with my favorite people. I have had the opportunity to feel both good and bad, happy and sad. In all of these feelings the beauty is in the breakthrough. ![]()

I love the sound of the ocean, the sound of the trees in the wind, the sound of children playing and the sound of praise. ![]()
I love the sound of my phone ringing when I find anyone but the bill collector calling, the sound of laughter and the healing in a cry. ![]()
So many things to love if you only listen...
