One Frosty morning: the amazing beauty found in a simple frost

Sometimes it's the simple things which excite and amaze. Something as everyday as a frost can give one such wonderful ideas that you are filled with excitement for the day. Frost creates some many amazing textures...

Like a soft fuzzy coat everything was covered in one way or another.  Once again in the dawn I am a child smiling and happy that a new day has found me alive and well enough to enjoy the frosty light and the quiet that seems to have fallen, muffling the sounds of busy life. A frosty quilted blanket of joy and beauty.

Enjoying Life: A walk in Cefn Onn

Out for a walk in Cefn Onn park

There is little I enjoy more than being out with my girls in the woods on a sunny afternoon. Lush scents of damp earth and growing things. Sounds of birds and laughter and splashing. Rich deep greens and browns paired with the bright flash of color from flowers. The soft mulch giving ever so slightly underfoot or a hand in mine, warm and little wet and gritty from the stream .... mmm so much to love and appreciate and enjoy

Life is a crazy thing. It is and is not what you plan. It is and is not about what you hope and dream. It has limitations which sometimes you can break through and sometimes you cannot. You have to make from life what you can of it while imagining an ideal which may or may not be achievable without a Transporter or a Replicator. The best thing I can suggest to you is to surround yourself with as many things as you love. There will be bits you'll learn along the way (like not to get so distracted that the spaghetti burns)...but as long as the majority of the things surrounding you are loved then life will be good too.
