"We were made to enjoy music, to enjoy beautiful sunsets, to enjoy looking at the billows of the sea and to be thrilled with a rose that is bedecked with dew… Human beings are actually created for the transcendent, for the sublime, for the beautiful, for the truthful... and all of us are given the task of trying to make this world a little more hospitable to these beautiful things."
--Bishop Desmond Tutu
South African Activist and Nobel Peace Prize Recipient
This rings so true to me. I found it on The Bright Side. I see this in Eden's eyes everyday. The world is hers for the taking. She discovers something amazing every day and I wasn't too surprised when her first word was "WOW!" (with a long drawn out "oooooo")
I want to reflect happiness, goodness and light. It is all around me and it's my choice everyday weather or not to let it in.
There is so much to be happy about...
I am really excited for fall. I love September and even though I am not in school I totally bought school supplies. There is something so fresh and idea provoking about a brand new blank notebook. I feel like September represents a fresh start and a new outlook.
I am also looking forward to going to the pumpkin patch with sweet Eden and making lots of cozy soups and chilli's. Yum.
