What a week we have all been through. Eric and I are on vacation and are spending a little bit of time just enjoying each other and relaxing. We are currently in Asheville, North Carolina and today I'm thinking about the beauty around us.
We have had the opportunity to see so many beautiful things in nature this week. It makes me wonder if the people who live in the middle of all this beauty stop to enjoy it. Or are they so wrapped up in their day-to-day it all just blends into the background?
It also makes me wonder how many beautiful things in my everyday surroundings I don't stop to appreciate. I know they are there, but am I seeing them?
What's beautiful around you? Do you stop occasionally to breath it in? In our busy, fast-paced lives we need to remember to linger on awe-inspiring things.
What beautiful things are in the area you live in? Do you stop to appreciate them? My hope today is that we all do a better job at noticing the beauty in our lives and taking the time to let it sink in.
That's what I'm thinking about today. What's on your mind? Link up below and let us know.

Today, I'm thinking how wonderful this world is. I put up a link to donate to my kiddos and wonderful people like you - who have never met me, never met these kids, but out of the kindness of your heart donated money to ensure they had a school year full of experiences.

Wow I didn't realize Asheville was so gorgeous! We don't live far from there so we really should make a weekend trip there.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip! Hope you got to see Biltmore. I saw your pic in Louisville - don't know how long you are there but you should eat at Feast BBQ. You'll love it!
