{photo was taken today in cedar hill… ryan was playing disc golf and i was enjoying every second of the beautiful weather and beautiful scenery. and his company of course!}
i had seen this post on one of my favorite blogs, love taza, and i just had to share this quote:
“normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. let me hold you while i may, for it may not always be so.”
― mary jean irion
some days [like today, for me!] aren’t difficult to enjoy. it takes no effort to find joy or contentment or peace or gratitude, and you walk around feeling full to the brim in the best of ways. but with other days, it’s not so easy. when you wake up feeling sad or mad or annoyed and you just can’t shake it… those are the days that really do get under your skin. but in these instances, i need to remember that i have a choice: i can succumb to those feelings and go about my day with a negative slant on life, or i can be thankful for what i have and treat each day like a treasure, because that’s exactly what they are. it’s not always easy, but this quote will be a reminder for me. every day is beautiful in its way. thank you to taza for sharing! xoxo
