I saw these breathtaking pictures on Instagram this morning that were nothing more than simple shots a woman had snapped of her view from the window on the morning drive to school … and I started thinking. How lucky am I that regardless of the lifetime’s worth of darkness that has relentlessly enshrouded me that I’m still able to see extraordinary beauty in the most random places, situations, SOULS, and things that are otherwise “nothing special” that some people actually find hideous? If you know me well, you know that I literally am “God’s favorite daughter”, and yes, I thanked Him profusely afterwards for gifting me with sight that sees “mundane magic” all around me, even when I’m not looking for it.
Note that the original pictures she’d posted were much brighter and vibrant than the ones above, but I chose to edit them with a darker filter so the quotes would show up better. I’ve posted her original pics below so you can really appreciate them! Thank you SO much, Jeanie Gontier, for not just giving me permission to use them this way, but even more so for taking them in the first place. You, my dear, are my kind of people!
