Here is my solution to yesterday’s problem of computer-generated frown lines.

It definitely makes me smile more.

This morning, I got into the vehicle in the dark of the morning, pre-fall back time, and as I turned the corner to head east, my breathing ceased. That dawn pink and purple and orangy blue…ahhhhh.

It was stunning.

I am so so so grateful that Sam taught me to be an early riser to appreciate the new day’s beauty and gift from above.

I am so so so grateful for the best surprise of forgetting that I changed my background at the end of the day yesterday so that when I turned on my screens this morning, I was greeted with the most beautiful smiles from my most favorite girls in the whole world.

I am so so so grateful that my world is filled with beauty, from autumn leaves to sweet dog faces to a white moth orchid in the kitchen window to computer screens big with smiles and eyes that only their daddy and I have known from the moment they entered this world.

I am so so so grateful for lady bug wing design, the shine of chrome, cashmere softness, stained wood all polished, a sheet of warm cookies cooling on the stove, clean carpet with vacuum lines, rainbow bubbles, and little girl light up shoes.

I am so so so grateful that even though my face needs some smile work, my eyes are working just fine, fine enough to notice all of the blessings God places right in front of me all the day long…
