The first thing I saw today when I opened the door has been a stranger this season. My soul jumped for joy at the sight of this color blue.
Then my brain reminded my soul that my body had to get in the car and drive an hour to Albany for 2 appointments today. Note to self: turn that brain off once in a while. My soul whispered on the way out the door "grab at least your point and shoot camera, there is beauty to see"
The best sight of the day was this one. It goes deeper than the visual. My baby so little once in my arms loves to read. My eyes have filled my soul over and over but today they smiled as I reflected on the past 6 years and my baby being able to read. Pajama girl wanted to know what her friends were reading and loves her own eyes because "they can read". She also wants to tell you more about it here.
My eyes, brain and soul have a lot to be thankful for. A day that could have been a bit different if I did not leave the house with opened eyes.
Thank you to the 2 Sherrys who inspired this post.
