Hidden Beauty

Beauty can be found in so many places you just need to keep your eyes open and wait for God to reveal the beauty to you. Did I ever tell you that I begged for a lawn mower last year? Up until last year I had a local teenager who then went to college cutting my grass. I loved him very much not in a weird way but more as an Aunt. He actually started to come to me for advice on certain things and we would talk a bit about life and the choices that you are presented. So anyway I did get the lawn mower and sometimes I miss cabaña boy that is his nickname. Honestly, I am scared of gas powered tools. I know that sounds a bit crazy and even crazier to those who are around me because I am not the afraid of much of anything. So cutting the grass is a big deal for me. Not that I do not love to garden I am just scared of the mower and weed waker too come to think about it.

Wow am I off the topic!

I think it is not a secret that I have been a bit stressed but there is an end in sight and I know that. I need to remember that this is not my plan but God's plan. I know that this wait does not remotely compare to what it will feel like when I wait between the 2 trips or maybe 3 trips I am not sure yet. So I was thinking wow this could be so worst then it is right now.

Now here is a funny little explanation about the picture. I wish I could say that I am such a fantastic gardener that I can get anything to grow anywhere but that would not be true. I actually never use my front door. I insisted on a paver walkway and I am lobbying Gerard for a paver driveway, which by the way I am losing terribly. Did I mention he has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)? He is not that hard to deal with but he has his quirks and I love them all.

The paver walkway is one of his quirks; he has never felt that it looks clean enough and that includes tha day it was installed. I usually just nod my head and tell him that I will fix it but secretly I love the old world look of a worn pathway. He has been telling me about this "weed" for the last 2 weeks and I just keep nodding my head. Well the other day I walked outside and this is what I found. I just love it. I have printed this picture and put it near my desk as an inspiration. Sometimes you just need to follow the path in order to see the beauty at the end.
