InspiRed





I like to sleep in on Saturday mornings.

 

Lazy, langorous, snooze-filled mornings. I burrow under the heavy

warmth of the covers, blocking out the insistent morning light until I absolutely

have to get up. And generally the only thing that will get me up is a standing

date that I have every Saturday morning at 11:00.

 

That is when my favorite pizza place pulls their first hot pie out of

the oven and I am there, eagerly staking my claim to delicious,

cheesey goodness.

 

 

This morning, I struggled more than usual with crawling out of my

snuggly cocoon. When I did, I was running late. I threw on some easy,

comfy layers, added a pop of red for color, and rushed out the door.

 

 

The rest of the day was spent doing the usual mundane Saturday activities:

grocery shopping, laundry, hitting up my favorite Goodwill.

 

 

Later, as the sun slowly gave up its hold on the day, Chuck and I decided

to go grab a bite to eat. I slipped my camera into my purse. On the way to

dinner, I sweetly asked Chuck if we could make a quick side trip to take

pictures for a desperately needed post. He agreed, albeit reluctantly.

 

We pulled into a place close to the restaurant and snapped a few pictures

very quickly as the last vestiges of light slipped away. I wasn't sure if we

would have anything that I could even use.

 

 

It wasn't until later when I looked at the pictures on my computer that I realized that

serendipity had struck again. Without any conscious thought, the outfit and

the setting had come together in a perfect balance of color and texture.

 

Call me crazy, but for me, there is a comfort in this. For if Life is providing

for me in these simplest, most mundane moments, I must learn

to trust that I am not alone in the bigger struggles of life.

 

 

Happy Sunday!
