Shiny Things

I am not your typically girly girl that likes a lot of jewelry, shiny clothes, or anything glittery.  It is just too much for me.  But last night and this morning I had a true appreciation for shiny things, it was snow, ice, stars and moon light.  In my little world, on my drive home last night and my drive to work this morning there was a glittery pathway.

It was very dark, with the moon half showing, but it was a very clear night with the stars everywhere.  While driving home, I noticed the multiple stars illuminating little specks in the sky.  The farther I got on back roads, the more shininess there was, ice and snow.  It wasn’t on the road (which was good), but it lined the banks, branches and even jaggers.  They were the pretties jaggers ever which I know sound funny, to see dead, prickly bushes dusted with glitter was really something.  It was just an image of God’s creation and beautiful design even in the things that are general painful.

I know there is not much point to this blog, but take time to notice and enjoy the little things in life.  If you only take time for the big things, you will miss the majority of charm in the world.  Smile often and make it a good day.
