Smacked in the Face with some Beauty

Dear Friends,

It’s been a spectacular fall around here, I feel like the colors have been absolutely stunning and the weather has been just wonderful.  It seems like everywhere you look the world is trying to show how beautiful and bright it can be.  Every time I get in the car it feels like I want to stop a few times, pull over, and take a picture of some beautiful tree.  It’s easy right now, it’s easy to see and notice the beauty in the world around us.  At this moment in time that beauty is clear, it's easy to see, it’s right in front of our faces.

I was walking in the woods last week, smiling at trees, taking in the colors and just downright enjoying myself.  As I walked I was wondering how it might feel to really notice the way this tangible and obvious beauty makes us feel,  and to gather that feeling in our hearts.  I was wondering how it might be to try to remember that feeling, and perhaps see and notice and recreate that feeling when that beauty is still there, but might not be quite so obvious, when the world around us is not quite so stunning in a few weeks here.

It might take a little more effort, but it’s still there, my friends.  Once this time has passed, and it always does, the beauty is still there…we might just have to look for it a little harder.

My dear friends, I hope you can see and feel the beauty in your own life, even when it is a little less than obvious.

Have an amazing week, my friends.

Love
Krista
