The Little Things

After the day I have had, I'm trying to remember the little things from summer that I so loved. Those things that brought me such happiness and peace and serenity. Now I know why my heart needed a beautiful layer of wonderfulness surrounding it to be ready for this school year.

This picture was taken at the beginning of the summer when my heart skipped a beat as I caught sight of the day lily in bloom through my Wrangler Jeep's window. Beautiful and unexpected they brought a huge smile to my face and heart. There will always be things in the public school system that baffle me. But nature baffles me as well. In a manner that makes my heart sing. So I guess I'll keep the crazy bafflings of one to keep the beautiful bafflings of the other!

Today the things that made my heart sing were:
-Starbucks and homemade bread
-texts from Em :)
-driving with the top off the Jeep and my hair flying in all directions as the icky-school film blew off
-taking time to watch my Clinton girls play their last game of the season (though the loss brought sadness, I was glad to be in the sunshine and beautiful weather watching them fight)
-knowing that my creative energies are appreciated and there is a place for me to dream (thankful to still be a part of Blooming Grove Academy)
-bottled sangria and $5 pizza
-getting a sub ordered so I can support my momma at the craft show she's doing (which, I am so very, very proud of her)

So, I'm not going to list out the things that made my head almost dislodge from it's natural position...though I could. But, in the words of my colleagues, Nobody Cares!

Life is good. Sometimes you just have to look really hard.
