Reason #21 - Sunrises

   Last night I had an amazing night sleep and I woke up way before my alarm. Instead of going back to bed I decided to get up and watch the sunrise. It has been a while since I've been up at that hour, so I forgot how much I missed it. Sunrises are so special. They represent another day, a new start. Mornings are quiet and slow and almost all consistent. I may be a night owl, but I really appreciate a beautiful morning.

Reason #11 - Pretty Flowers

   It's the dead of winter and this is easily the most depressing time of the year for me. I think I hate it so much because I really enjoy being outside with nature and seeing everything alive around me, but that isn't so easy in the winter. Right now I am dreaming of flowers. Flowers can say so many different things. They tell us when spring is here. And they can say "I love you," "I'm sorry," or even "I was just thinking of you and I wanted you to have these pretty flowers because you are awesome." Charley went out and bought a bunch of flowers for the house and it really brightens my mood every time I walk passed them. I really need more flowers in my life, especially in the winter.

Boys take note: hydrangeas and sunflowers are my favorite. :)

Reason #4 - Blue Skies

   I walk to pick up my little brother from school, and I like to take this time to just observe what's around me. Today the skies were so blue and pretty. The outdoors always brighten my mood!

 

 

   Above is an unfiltered, unedited picture of today's sky. It still does not do it justice. I just think blue skies look so beautiful and mesmerizing. They seem to go on forever. I could stare at it all day. Love. Love. Love.
