Surrounded

A while back I was at my friend Cara’s house.   I was there to borrow some cute bud vases.  I knew she would have a good selection, and she didn’t disappoint.
Everywhere I turned in her house I saw something cute.  Cute pillows.  Cute drapes.  Cute dishes.  Cute frames.  Cute, cute, cute!
I thought to myself, “If  my house was this cute I would be smiling all day long!”  Which led to remembering something I had heard on Oprah- or somewhere equally as authoritative.  They say you should surround yourself with the things you love.
On my way home I was worried.  My house is always under construction.  I had a concrete floor at the time.  My dishes don’t match.  My walls are bare. You get the idea.  How will I be happy if I’m not surrounded by things that I love??
Duh.  As soon as I thought it, the answer came into my mind.  I am surrounded by the things that I love!  They look like this:

I am definitely surrounded.
Matching dishes can wait.

    I like this thought a lot. Although, Becca and Savannah look a little freaked out to be surrounded by so much love.

    Ok seriously how do you come up with this stuff! It is amazing. And then I think "wow! I'm so lucky to have such cool friends." P.S. all that you taught me in voice has gone to pot. I must come back for more lessons!!
