The Beauty in Things I Could Complain About
The Beauty in Nothing You Planned Getting Done
Leave a Comment
Today, my to-do list was not very long, but filled with extremely important matters that had to be handled. At the end of the day, I was not productive, not one thing got done. I did all the work for it to get done, but nope, nothing accomplished. There are days when life happens and with no control or say by you, line items are eliminated and erased before your very eyes. Often times when this happens we sulk and resent that we have to do the aforementioned tasks on a later day, but then we are reminded of the Beauty: the Beauty in having picnics with your children in the park, the Beauty in trying again, the Beauty in rewriting your to-do lists, the Beauty in not being upset by the things you cannot control, the Beauty in exhausting your children so they pass out with no argument, the Beauty in nothing you planned getting done.

The Beauty in the Humdrum
Leave a Comment
A hum provides a particular sound quality of minimal tones. It has even been described as having only one tone. The drum provides the beat, the steady course that all things follow accordingly. When something is humdrum it is known to be dull, flat. Life can sometimes have little excitement and schedules, obligations, bills and responsibility start to shape our days, weeks and months, until the routine becomes our beat and we feel flattened. Often times the methodical and customary necessities of life can leave us zombie-like, following the one beat, day in and day out, but then you are reminded of the Beauty: the Beauty in no surprises, the Beauty in rocking to the beat you’ve been given, the Beauty in music being made, the Beauty in simplicity, the Beauty in spicing it up on your own terms, the Beauty in the humdrum. 
The Beauty in Not Enough Time

There are 10,080 minutes in a week. There are 1,440 minutes in a day. If we won ten thousand dollars or even a thousand dollars we would feel so blessed; however, when it comes to our time, we get this dreaded feeling that it simply is not enough. When someone is doing time, it cannot pass fast enough; when someone is trying to cope with heartache and loss, a person is encouraged to be patient because time heals all wounds. Often times when we have to schedule all that we have to get done in addition to the rest that our responsibilities require, there is not sufficient amounts of time and some of our needs do not get met and a lot of rest is sacrificed too, but we have to remind ourselves of the Beauty: the Beauty in forgiving yourself for not getting it all done, the Beauty in making time, the Beauty in the quality and not quantity, the Beauty in how God sees time, the Beauty in not wasting time, 
the Beauty in not enough time.
The Beauty in Missing Things

you don’t quite get it. The word miss begins several of its definitions whether it be missing a meeting, missing a friend, or missing a mark as a failure to …a failure to make an appointment, a failure to see a loved one. Often times, the word failure and more so, the feeling of failing could encapsulate you and mere missing can develop into debilitating sadness, but then you are reminded of the Beauty: the Beauty in when one door closes, another opens, the Beauty in technological advancement, the Beauty in rescheduling; the Beauty in trying again, the Beauty in setting new goals, the Beauty in missing things.Tags: appointments, closed doors, closing, distance, doors, events, failing, failures, goals, grades, Longing, missing the mark, missing things, opened doors, opportunities, schedules, success, technology
