Glorious Spring

springAhhh Spring-   one of my favorite times of the year.     Admittedly- I’m one of those people who love “ALL” seasons for what they bring individually.    The ‘new life’ of Spring-    the long daylight hours and warmth of Summer, the colors and earthiness of Fall, and the coziness – cold, short days of Winter.

Right now- I’m in ‘full’ enjoyment mode of Spring.    I am noticing all the new growth- the beauty of all the colors popping up everywhere-  and an overall beauty everywhere I look.    The skies are a little bluer-  and even what many deem as ‘weeds’ have a deep beauty to them.

Last week- I took this shot on my way to a friends home a couple of hours from me.    We made a ‘pit stop’ (aka bathroom break) and it was so beautiful that I paused and took in the scenery around me.     This photo doesn’t do it justice, that’s for certain.

Today-  I encourage you to pause-   look around and switch your focus from whatever has your mind wandering and reeling- to embrace your surroundings and find the beauty in what is right there in front of your nose.    See it?

So tell me- what did you see?

Let the Music Play

If you’ve known me anytime at all- you know that my best friend’s husband has a side business as a DJ. They are both very talented when it comes to music- She sings, and has since we were children, and he’s a very accomplished trumpet player. The love of music they share was the brain child behind the DJ business- and over the years he’s done many weddings, school events, parties, charity events, and the list goes on.

In spite of being someone who doesn’t know ‘that’ much about music- his set up is impressive. He has some great equipment, and a great scene setter to keep the lighting matched up with the tunes that happen to be playing. It’s fun seeing him in action, and also seeing how much people enjoy having him at their events. It’s definitely something I’d love to sit in on sometime. The music makes every event memorable.
