Lovely, Just Lovely

Do you keep photos stored on your computer, photos that speak to you and are kept for no other reason? I do. 

There is something stirred deep within when I see the above picture.  I wish to be part of their world.  Do I want to be the reader or the painter?  My first thought is,"I am not good enough to be the painter."  Ah, I, but want to be the painter.

I love this picture, too.  I want to be that mother.  I want my children to enjoy time outdoors with me. They appear to be in no hurry and seem to be enjoying a quiet moment together in a beautiful spot.  No one seems to be arguing or wanting to rush off to the next thing. 

Here I am again, the mom.  This time my well-behaved, happy children and I are enjoying a tea party outdoors.  See the boat in the background?  It's the one we use to get to this private picnic spot.  Perhaps, I need to jump on this idea.  My real children are growing up so quickly.  They won't want to have a tea party outdoors for long.

Thanks for stopping by and reading this silly little post!  Perhaps it will inspire you to slow down, look at a picture and dream?
