It was such a beautiful sun-swept day, I was puttering about in the bedroom when suddenly this sweet sunny image appeared to me with its reflection on the wall.
As I gathered up my camera, I found I, too, was reflecting. Thinking. Wondering. How many times had I passed by this reflection not noticing it at all. How many times had I missed the view here and elsewhere while hurriedly rushing about?
I right then and there, renewed a promise I'd made to myself long ago! I would notice and enjoy the simple treasures and my family. They are always there. I would take the time to see and cherish the charms of ordinary days! I would look for reflections wherever they may be and hold them dear!
Have a beautiful mindful week!

You are absolutely right - this morning my daughter wanted an extra long hug and after a few minutes thinking of all the things I needed to get done today, I stopped and started to just listen - to her breathing, to the bird singing outside our window, and suddenly all those other things seemed far less important, as before I know it my daughter will not want extra long hugs any more.
ReplyDeleteQuelle belle image! Je suis heureuse d'avoir vous rencontré via nos blogs. Pardonnez-moi si je fais des fautes avec mon français. Ça fait deux ans depuis je l'ai enseigné.

Hi Aging Mommy,
ReplyDeleteAs I was finishing writing this post my youngest daughter walked in in tears over a difficult math test. She is 20. I gave her a long hug. She felt better. So dont worry. You will be hugging your daugher for many years to come.
Love

Bonjour Mandy,
ReplyDeleteJe suis bien heureuse de ta visite. Ne t'inquiète pas au sujet des fautes. Le français est une belle langue mais elle est difficile. L'important c'est d'essayer. Merci de ta visite. J'espère que tu reviendras.

ReplyDeleteHi Katie,
ReplyDeleteThank you! I find taking pictures forces you to take a moment to reflect and therefore become part of a unique moment.
Hi Babes Mami,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my blog. It was fun to see you try out the new make-up. You are very talented!
Hi TJ,
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. I was reminded by somebody else today and it inspired me to write about it.
Hi Sandy,
ReplyDeleteIts just a phase I'm going thru to cheer me up. Probably due to spring fever!

Beautiful picture AND sentiment! Bravo!!
ReplyDeleteSo true, and I surely do it everyday myself...I love my home and my family, that comes first! Lovely post!
ReplyDeleteHi Queenie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and yes once in a while I get sentimental. LOL
You are so very correct hon - too often, we literally don't take time to 'smell the roses' or admire a simple reflection. We (especially us wimmin) always have something to do!
ReplyDeleteThank you for an inspiring post :-)
{{{hugs}}}
Hi Jayne,
