Light and Blooms

As I was packing the girls lunches this morning, I realized how much of a joy it is to serve those that you love. The girls could certainly pack their own lunches and they have, but it is nice to do something for them just because I want to. They appreciate the details and the gift of my time. It is the simple elements of a day that make up a lifetime.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." Ralph Waldo Emerson I will never get tired of that first cup of coffee in the morning. To start the day in a quiet moment with something you enjoy is truly one of the simple pleasures of the ordinary life.

What a pretty combination of everyday simple beauty. There are many things to appreciate in each day, but when you catch one first thing to get your day started, it is special. Rain storms are in the forecast again today, so the sun light is even more appreciated this morning. "This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it." Enjoy your day.
