Fresh on Friday ~ Taking it All In

Encouraging you today to, 

take it all in!

Yesterday I had a Doctor appointment and in my travels home  I passed by this

awesome little church.  I actually chose the lot my house was built on knowing that

I could see it out my dining room window.  Well, now a hundred years or so later

the trees have all grown so much between the church and my house,

 I can now only see the steeple. 

 So I stopped to capture a photo......it makes me happy to look at this old church.

  Fresh flowers just have an affect on a room

I really love them!

I placed these so I can enjoy them as I write.

It got me thinking that I should spend more time taking in the 

things that increase my happy...

for example,  :-) some of my rooster collection.

My photos were taken with my phone...

substandard quality! 

Cherries scream childhood vacations, my Dad always stopped at a roadside

stand and purchased a very large bag to enjoy in our travels.

 I love my fake cherries, I have two bowls of them.  

I have glass cherries in a black bowl on display. 

These below are plastic but look very real, in a pretty crystal bowl.

So real, Khloe continues to occasionally pick one up and try and

bite into it...If you look close you can see her little teeth marks.

Makes them much more valuable to me!

I love over sized objects as well..

 All things water, I can sit and be content for a long time

just taking it in.  This was from our river trip last week.

And of course there are these two cuties.

Thankful we get to see them so often, nothing beats Grand Parenting.

I still  just stare in wonder as I look into their little faces

that are forever full of expressions.

 

I recently made these little collages with an app on my phone.

Fun to change photos up from time to time.

I encourage you to take some time and take in the things you love.

Really sit and let them do their magic on your happy!

It did this old heart good.

It's what echos in my heart today.
