A few weeks in the past, I bought the very best type of mail, a bouquet of flowers delivered to my doorstep.
I’m telling you, I believe this specific bouquet of flowers knew that I’d been making an attempt to suppose up one thing inventive for a Valentine’s Day printable since I knew I’d be teaming up with some gifted blogger mates right now together with Abby from Just and Girl and Her Blog for a fast Valentine’s Printable bloghop.
However earlier than it arrived, I used to be arising empty. (These inventive juices are simply humorous like that; some days I’ve 1,000,000 nice concepts, and others it’s like my mind is simply rattling round up there.)
So I pulled that candy bouquet out of its transport field, laid it on our kitchen counter whereas I seemed for a vase, turned again round, and voila. This picture-perfect artwork concept. So I grabbed my digital camera and snapped a shot of this bouquet of flowers within the precise form of a coronary heart.
Are you able to see it?! Completely unplanned.
I’m not an artist by any means. I draw stick individuals. Severely.
However up to now three years, pictures has by some means labored its approach deep into my coronary heart. It’s taken apply and finding out and a variety of trial and error (and I’m nonetheless removed from being a grasp photographer), nevertheless it’s taught me a lot about life.
Like how discovering happiness is a matter of taking a minute to be glad about what’s already round you…
… how there’s at all times one thing extraordinary in regards to the day by day.
There are some days after I’m so caught up in to-do lists and schedules and emails and ballet classes and meal plans and information tales that pictures saves me. I’ll be driving within the automobile and instantly a rosy sundown will catch my eye. Or Olivia will likely be laughing, blowing bubbles within the yard. Or Robert will give me the identical look that he did on our very first date. And I take a psychological {photograph}.
It makes me fall in love with life, with the sweetness that we’re typically so wrapped up in different issues to actually see. However, man, it’s a fairly spectacular romance while you cease the whole lot to really LOOK at these little moments that always final solely a break up second, these moments which might be value the whole lot in the complete world.
I believe that bouquet of flowers knew I wanted that reminder, to step away from the textual content messages and soiled laundry that day to only be. To simply see the little issues. To simply love being alive.
