Beauty in the Everyday

I was recently reminded of how everyday things can be beautiful.  I go through this McDonalds daily for my large Diet Coke...this is the image I see as I drive up....not much to it, right?

But then, as I am driving out of the parking lot onto the side street, this is what I see

and a few days later again.....

Sweet old barn....how you brighten my day.  Can't wait to use that color in my house!

And in a week that has given us this http://www.wfaa.com/news/local/Dallas-Police-Officer-Under-Investigation-for-Facebook-Postings-116432709.html

and this http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2011/02/15/john-wiley-price-dallas-county-commissioners-go-to-hell/

I was so thankful to see these two angels yesterday on Oprah http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2011/feb/18/oprah-effect-hits-love-kitchen/?partner=yahoo_feeds

A friend posted one of their quotes on Facebook..."everybody is God's somebody."  They are 82-years-old and as beautiful on the inside as on the outside! Thank you twins Ellen and Helen for showing us the goodness that does exist in  this world.
