I can't pinpoint the exact time, but lately I've been noticing the beauty in the small things. While we were on vacation, I just felt so lucky to be alive and healthy, on vacation with my whole family, and enjoying the amazing weather. I had this overwhelming feeling of gratefulness. It was really cool. I don't want to say that before I never appreciated each day, it's more like I am taking notice in a different way.
My mom, L, and I were on our way home from Akron yesterday and it was an amazing fall day. Honestly, Ohio in the fall is unbelievable. The clouds were perfect, the sky blue, the fields were a vibrant green and yellow, the trees were bright orange, yellow, and red, there were purple flowers everywhere...everything was just right! I was pointing this out to my mom and she said something to me that was a pretty great compliment in my opinion....she said "it's like you are starting to see things like an artist". And I am. I notice how things would make a great picture or a wonderful painting. It is like my creativity is expanding, which is super cool!
Word! I may not always love Ohio, but fall there is just stunning! I'm so glad I got to visit when the leaves were so beautiful.
