the joy dare ~ week.four

1.27.2012

a week in photos

was challenged this week to look for the ugly~beauty...
often that can be found in the very middle of my day
for example my work space.
planners.
calendars.
phone.
text books.
schedulers.
lessons to be checked.
piles.
the ugly is obvious. it’s a mess. work to be contended with.
the beauty...not so obvious.
but here it is.
it is a life fully lived.
it is a life lived for others.
it is a life of learning.
it is a life of honing habits.
it is a life of re-do’s.
it is a life of always having the work of my hands daily in front of me.
it is a life of lacking pretty much...nothing.
it is...

the joy of never being bored
the joy of play
the joy of wonder
the joy of the busy life
the joy that i do have a kitchen...albeit in the messy midst
the joy of comic relief
the joy of afternoon refreshment
the joy of a smirky smile
the joy of being inseperable
the joy of homemade peanut butter
the joy of a new book
the joy of running free

the joy of sweet hands
the joy of a new day
ah! so thankful for this week in review time.
for a chance to be still and reflect by way of photo.
for the time to let the mistakes of the week wash away.
for a review of the gifts that i DID capture...
knowing plenty abundant blessings escaped my lense.
