Things I find Beautiful #20

Sunny Days that aren't too hot.

The princesses and I have just got home from an awesome afternoon.

We went for a nice walk to the store, to pick up the last thing I needed for my ninga's birthday present to mail to him tomorrow. hmm.. lol.

And then, we spent a good amount of time at the park with some friends..

THEN, we walked to a different store and bought a new Lilac tree, cuz the other is dead, and some various other things.

But the weather is gorgeous, and I finally got some colour I think. Sun is nice and bright, and theres just a bit of a breeze that isn't letting it swelter.

I love this weather, it could stay like this ALL summer.

Things I find Beautiful #18 & 19

You know what I find beautiful? (theres two in here somewhere)
Those moments when I smile to myself and think, "that's awesome." Sometimes, I'm probably way off, other times, I know I'm right on. Today was a huge day for me. Quite frankly, I was a mess. As the day drew on, things were okay, and my emotions lessened, I decided shopping was in order. (I swear my dear if you shake your head or chuckle to yourself, you're not gonna be a very happy man!!! hahaha jk)

I was looking at the racks at the local Winners, beside this lady, who, no word of a lie, had the most serious look on her face. Its probably how I looked for most of the day. I saw myself in her somehow..

Anyway, the song on the radio changed, and she started by a little toe tap, and then a little hip wiggle, a smile on her face, and then the chorus came and the poor woman started singing to herself until she remembered I was right beside her and looked horribly embarrassed.

I swear to god, I had the biggest smile on my face, and not because I found her amusing, but that i LOVE the fact that music has the ability to completely transform people. This woman, did not look like she was having a good day, at all, and this song, completely struck a chord in her and brought her to some place happy, if only for the length of the song, it amazes me, and delights me that music has the ability to do this.

This particular song always makes me wrinkle up my nose, and giggle a bit, but doesn't have any significance to me personally. However, I definitely have those songs... many many of them.


So, the two beautiful things in here can be either, Music and its ability to make people happy and my ability to see the small things and get great joy out of them, OR.. Music and its ability to make people happy, and shopping. take your pick. :P

And, for good measure, here is the song this lady was groovin to in Winners:

Things I find Beautiful #11

Cumulus Clouds.

My wanna-be meterologist of a boyfriend had better be proud of me for this one. I actually searched out the name and everything. LOL

Cumulus Clouds are beautiful, they happen mostly because of thermal convection or frontal lifting, and they can grow to heights up to and above 39,000 feet.

They are, in my words, "the big fluffy ones" and.. they are beautiful.

Autumn.

I love autumn after a hot summer, being out in the crisp air, the trees turning colours, no other season is as beautiful as Autumn to me.
Yes the others have their merits, but they just arent as pretty. hands down. :P

This, is beauty.

One of my all time favourite songs.
This is beautiful to me.

Things I find Beautiful #7

In honour of Mother's Day today, my thing I find beautiful is being a Mom.

There is nothing in my life that has taught me more, about life, about love, about myself, then being a mother. The day I found out I was going to have a baby, my life changed forever, and with every passing day, I'm convinved I become a better person.

I love my little people, and thank God all the time for giving me the chance to be a Momma.

Things I find Beautiful #6

You.

Yea, you know who you are.
You're an amazing person, who I am so proud to know.

You light up my everyday, and make me smile when I don't feel like it.

You, are awesome.

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm sappy.

There is something in the way an older couple who still loves each other so dearly looks at each other, and interacts that makes me want to cry.

When I see an old couple holding hands, or sharing a tender look across a room, or maybe just the man holding the door open for his lady, I just swell with sap. haha

I love it. Its amazing, Its beautiful, and its what I want for everyone, even me, 50 years from now.

I had a hard time deciding on what I thought was beautiful today..

Sometimes life throws things at you, and you need to roll with them. I'm dealing with a lot of that right now.. and I always hated the stress and things that I encountered in my life, but with the help of some fresh opinions I've been subjected to lately, I've come to realize that those struggles, and strifes in life, are almost like badges of honour. Here is a woman I feel must have seen her fair share of struggles in their life, and experience on her face is not only beautiful to me, but I am full of admiration for her aswell.

I'm trying to catch up here...

Poetry.

This is my favourite of Shakespears Sonnet's. #18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

Big Day!

The princesses are going on their first train trip! They are so excited. BEYOND excited.

I can't wait to see their litle faces on the train, and then a fun filled day at various children's hot spots. lol They are going to be so tuckered out. But thankfully, I am sure they will love every minute of it. <3

Mommy however is sick, and doesn't feel like doing anything. Heres to cold medicine and a whole lot of hope! hehe

Wish us luck!
