Finding Beauty


Just about every day I have a pinch me moment. Like yesterday, my husband and I had decided to go out to dinner in town. We call this restaurant our "date place". It has great atmosphere and even better food. While we were leaving the restaurant, we heard the sound of live music played by a local group. When we stopped to listen, we ran into some friends. They told us that every Friday night they close off the street in the center of town for music and dancing. Later, as we were driving home, there was a lovely Summer breeze coming in through the open car windows. It was just before twilight. I looked across one of the lush farm fields thinking I must be the luckiest person on the face of the earth. It surely doesn't get any better than this. I am surrounded by beauty daily.
