Treasured Moments

"To love beauty is to see light."
             ~Victor Hugo

    I wonder sometimes about the passage of time. Everything runs so quickly and with such frantic energy sometimes I watch it passing me by and worry that I'm missing the essence of things. I tell myself that I don't have time to pause - read a few pages of a book, take a walk, sit in the garden. Those moments can't be wasted when there is so much to do! -And yet when I do pause I find myself becoming more aware of things around me, as if my mind was craving that small moment of rest and with it became clearer and better able to cope with all of the things I am pushing at it. Sometimes we just need to be still. Remember who we are and what we like. Look more closely at the people around us. Find moments of calm and beauty amidst the hurry and wear. 

That is my thought for the day! I know it is a frantic time of year for most people - the end of summer play and the beginning of a whole new season. I hope you are all taking the time to enjoy the change and stealing small moments of stillness to rejuvenate your spirit. 

I have been busy too! I am one of those people who finds it hard to relax and yet desperately needs to for her own mental and physical well-being. I'm learning when it is important to take those moments. Still there are always things that need to be done and one of them is adding a few new treasures to the Etsy Shop! I hope you will all have a look at these pretty things and that you have a wonderful and happy week!
