Seeing the beauty around me, despite what is happening in my day is so important. Putting aside the upsetting email, or conversation for the beauty found in everyday moments. Is a great way to reset our thoughts, and overcome any negative thinking.
Creative Affirmation
I see the beauty and wonder in the world around me.
Where we live in the Utah mountains, we are in a valley. There are mountain views in every direction. It’s gorgeous, and I’m so grateful for the view. However, it is very easy to be complacent about the view. The mountains are always there, and half the year they are covered with snow. Headed to school at 7:30 am during the school year, my teens don’t share my enthusiasm about the view. But they also don’t know any other view. Having grown up here they don’t know how good they have it.
This affirmation is a reminder to me, to look again. Take notice of all the views around me, big and small.
Slowing down to enjoy the beauty and wonder, creates more of the same within me. It opens me up to be more creative, and take note of all the inspiration around me.
I hope you take the time to admire your surroundings today.

I like this quilting pattern.
I do so love the colors you chose for Emmalie’s quilt. I’ve gone back and looked at it many times.
Love this post. It is easy to become complacent with our surroundings. This is a great reminder to be grateful and notice the beauty around us. And this in turn feeds the creativity within us. Thanks again for these great words to think about this week.
