beauty all around

Today was a busy day of smiles: running, the zoo, hot chocolate, old friends, and time with my cousin. What beauty there is to be around those we love, doing things we enjoy, having friendships that feel like no time has passed, and also just the beautiful world around us.  .

We don't have to do big things to enjoy life. We don't have to go far to see beauty.  Beauty is in the world around us, it is in the friendships we have, it is in those small moments that make us smile, it is in a song we enjoy, it is around us.

While I have all these small wonderful moments of beauty, I would like to share some pictures of the small beauty of the day.
