Beauty and life

Something hit me this weekend, and I just realized—there is beauty everywhere. In the sky, in the land, in each other. In the comfort of a friend and the kindness of a stranger. Everywhere.

Sometimes Life it’s hard and it’s on your heart your mind and your soul and you have to live in the sucky space for a little while, but you don’t have to stay.If its meant to be Life will change so until then,,,,

Enjoy your life. Your one-and-only, God-given, imperfect, messy, wonderful, chaotic life. Not your social media life either. Your actual life.

Soak as much joy from every single mundane detail as you possibly can. You don’t get any of the time back, and once a moment is gone, it’s gone, so run through the rain. even if you hate it do it I did and I still hated it but point is I did it Dance when your favorite song comes on even if you’re in the middle of the grocery store.Trust me I do this no matter where I am.... Put your toes in the grass, or the sand, or the plastic swimming pool in the backyard if that’s all you have, hey done this too sand in a pool INSTANT beach peoples :)

Tell people you love them. Let go of stupid grudges and release people. Don’t stay angry, or bitter, or resentful. Those things are thieves, and they’re liars, and they’re dirty tricks to keep you repeating the same heartbreak over and over and over.

but always paint ya toes, why dont ask I have no idea :)my toes are currently rainbow colored , maybe cuz magic should go from ya head to ya toes my heads red so my toes can be every other color ,, yea Im stickin with that one ...

Sit in the grass and watch the clouds. Write a book. Draw pictures even if nobody can tell what in the world the thing is supposed to be.

. Trace patterns in the stars. Marvel at the vastness of the universe and the smallness of a soul. Have conversations with people. Ask them how they’re doing. If you see something about someone you admire—tell them. Right then and right there, whether you know them or not. Tell them. Make their day.

Thanks to God I get to see it all again with Emma

Make forts in the living room. Stay up late watching a cartoon you know you have seen 20 times just becuz she wants to watch it with you. Wear makeup/don’t wear makeup—whatever. Do what makes you feel beautiful.

Find a charity in your town and ask how you can help. There is someone out there who needs you to show up and give, so do it. You will both gain something.

Get in the car and visit some place new, or visit your favorite old, familiar spot. Invite your neighbors over. Bake some cookies, or just use store bought ones and throw them on a plate, light a vanilla candle, and call it a day.

Definitely, absolutely, without-a-doubt put your phone down and stop looking for your faith to be restored from the comment sections on any site your on. You will not find it there. Like at all.ZILCH !

Laugh too hard. Bring up that inside joke, or make a new one. Be too silly, and strange, and just have a good time if you can. Stop wondering who’s looking and who’s judging and if you’re staying inside this perfectly painted little box and be weird in your own kinda ways

Pause every once in a while, look down at your feet, and enjoy the place you’re in with the ones you’re with.

Stop playing the “I’ll be happy when” game. Stop bargaining and placing bets that you’ll find joy in the next landing spot, and find it now. Stop letting stupid stuff slip in, stress you out, and steal your shine.

There is beauty everywhere. No, it’s not always obvious, and no, it’s not always easy. Some things have to be polished before they can sparkle again, but just promise me that you’ll look for it. Maybe you’ll find it later today, maybe tomorrow, and then again, it may be a while.

But life is weird, and it’s wonderful, and it’s full of things like jokes, and grief. Brand new babies being brought into this world, and sunsets sitting on the horizon in full display. Storm clouds, and rainbows, and friendships, and horses, which I’m sorry, are the greatest animals ever in existence.

It’d be an awful shame if we missed it because we were walking around with our eyes closed, and our hearts blind to all the good things God has created. It dont matter if we have 1 day or a million days left on earth make each one count ! :)
