Beautiful World

First and foremost... this morning was beautiful.

Thick fog blanketed the roads and mist settled on my windshield as the streetlights danced to the hum of the morning. I woke up this morning with such an appreciation for life and every small detail it has to offer; my heels sinking into the wet grass as I tried to take today's Little Black Dress picture, the race the water took to get off my windshield as I accelerated... life is truly beautiful and wonderful and amazing. Although things are hectic in my life right now and I'm still trying to fit in and "find my place", I'm glad I still have the desire and the ability to appreciate the little things in life- getting flowers from and "unknown" person on Valentine's Day just because (Thank You Mom- I have decided it was you), birds chirping as I fall asleep in the afternoon, the old man walking on the same stretch of road as I drive to work (no matter how late I am)... there is so much life has to offer and this morning I, for some reason, was reminded to look for the small things in life.

Thank you morning fog for reminding me to slowdown, for reminding me to appreciate, for reminding me to be thankful, and for reminding me to, as Rob Thomas sings, 'shine a little light on everything around me'

On an completely unrelated note and to break the rhythmic writing... today I paired the Little Black Dress with heels, that sank in the wet grass with a vengeance,  a purse that my sister got me when she was last in Spain, a sweater inspired cardigan on loan from Mya, and a belt to dress it all up a bit more for the simple fact of it being Thursday. I would describe the look as being... surprisingly sophisticated.
