Life Lately
Life has just been so nice lately. The other day, after Matthew finished the bar, we had a weekend all to ourselves, and it was just pure bliss. One of the days was absolutely beautiful... the perfect 72 degrees with a breeze and not a cloud in the sky. So we all went outside, my little family of two humans and two fur babies, and we sat under the tree in our yard and painted pots to put my succulents in. I know, I know... succulents are oh-so-trendy and I am usually annoyed, by default, with oh-so-trendy things, but oftentimes things are trendy because they're wonderful, and in this case, I feel that succulents are just wonderful. They are such beautiful little plants, and there's so much variety, and they are hard to kill. Massive bonus points for being hard to kill.
Anyway, I sat on a towel under that tree, with my husband and my babies and my cardboard box to paint our pots on, and it wasn't Pinterest-worthy or necessarily even blog worthy, but it was perfect and I think I've done so much growing up lately, to be able to see and fully appreciate the beauty of my own life, and to be fully present in the moment without having to Instagram something or blog it immediately as if its existence on social media makes it somehow more valid. Lord knows, I don't judge anyone who loves to share on social media. Been there, done that, still doing it. All I'm saying is, for me, I've found quite a bit of peace lately, in just living my life a little more quietly, and enjoying the things and people put before me a little more fully.
Here's a couple more photos from our sunny day. Happy Wednesday... :)
