Sometimes in life – we need to take a second look to really appreciate the things we have, the life we live.
I was reminded of this because my niece Kate did some house-sitting for us … and when she did, she took a few pictures of my backyard and I saw things from a whole new perspective.
Here is the little potted rosebush that I get frustrated with because it only blooms one tiny bud at a time.
Exquisite.
And a vintage, garage sale find – I was sure needed a coat of paint. On my list of things to do.
Not now.
I thought my birdbath needed serious cleaning …
… why?
This old metal tub nearly made a trip to the curb til I threw on a random nail on our fence –
– it’s amazing in Kate’s eyes.
Finally, a concrete heirloom from my mother-in-laws backyard. It was playing hide n seek in my garden and Kate discovered it …
and I rediscovered it anew.
Look at your life with new eyes.
And discover the beauty that’s sitting quietly all around you.
