I treasure my found "pearls" every single day... love, a sunrise, summer wildflowers, beach walks, shells in my pockets, a good book, new music, good wine (I do live in California!), a new recipe to try, discovering an art gallery, exploring an antique store - the list goes on. My life has always been about peeking inside the rough, bumpy shell to find the pearls that I might miss if I didn't slow down once in a while. Amazing how much happier I am when I remember to just enjoy those simple things.
My most prized pearls?
1. My funny, loving children.
2. Tom.
3. Our families.
4. Friends. My life is so incredibly blessed to be touched by such a rich circle of incredibly talented, funny, interesting and smart, wise people that I am lucky enough to call friends.
How very true... beauty is all around us - we just have to take the time to find it. There are plenty of pearls to go around.
