I believe one of the gifts we have been given as we live life day to day
is the ability to discover beauty in every moment along the way.
I believe if we’ are waiting for that one beautiful moment…
that ultimate surprise…we may fail to see the beauty that is right before our eyes.
The other day at the lake house of a friend we were fortunate early to wake
and step outside in time to watch the sun rise on the lake.
With only the frogs and birds around us…away from all the crowds…
we watched the sun in all her artistry paint the water and the clouds.
Our friend Bonnie and her dog Arrow joined us…and we sat down to talk
with muffins and hot coffee…a little breakfast on the dock.
After sitting together for a while…embracing every moment of the changing scene
the four of us moved inside where we sat and visited with our friend Jean.
I love when friends get together…no matter when or where…
the kinship we all feel…how laughter fills the air.
When it was time for us to go…and our arms and stories we finally disentangled…
we headed home….but first…a stop for egg biscuits at Bojangles.
There are so many beautiful moment shared when traveling near…or far
heading down the road together…just the two of us…in a car.
We made smoothies for dinner and then…in the days waning light
we watched The Big Lebowski before kissing each other good night.
It’s amazing how simple beautiful moments shared along the way
when you put them all together make for a beautiful day…
And how simple beautiful moments shared with friends and family…
with our partner or our wife
can, when we put them all together…make for a beautiful life.
