They say we, "eat with our eyes first."
And while a basketful of homegrown green beans can be lovely, purple and yellow ones feed my soul
as well as my body.
A basket of yellow heirloom tomatoes sitting on my kitchen counter may be boring to most people, but to me it is like a priceless sculpture.
I'll stare at it a day or two before processing them because they're so lovely!
And even walking into my ordinary, unorganized, non-Pinterest pantry, I see the beauty of the contents of these jars. The seeds that I started in January are going to be feeding us all year long.
True contentment, for me, consists of finding beauty in the ordinary. To shift my thinking from a consumer mentality to one of being thankful for what I have right in front of me.
Our chaotic home, family dinners, hand picked bouquets, a hot cup of coffee in the morning...
and drinking it with my two dogs.
The ordinary is quite beautiful
if we choose to see it that way.
