Black & White Wednesday ~ More Frost

do what you can

with what you have

where you are

Theodore Roosevelt

These photos speak to my heart.

There are days 

{moments really, not days}

when I feel surrounded by only the mundane.

When you've spent a dozen years in Paris

and counted giraffes on safari

and flown over the pyramids...

When you've spent summers close to the Cascades

and watched the sun rise over a Mexican beach

and held your new born baby in your arms...

Well, let's just say that my days in an unimaginative little rented house

with my secretarial desk a mere five minutes away

can, at times, feel oh so tired.

And ordinary.

But there's a window pane I pass each morning as I head down stairs towards my coffee,

and these days I'm treated to a daily masterpiece.

It's not the Louvre.

It's just my little window pane.

But the frost has been particularly artistic of late.

And if I'm tempted to think it's all blah...or ordinary....this little existence of mine,

I'm reminded that each 

day

breath

rain drop

snow flake 

or

frosted window pane

is a gift.

An extra-ordinary gift.
