Savoring

     This morning I'm getting to savor some downtime!  Flow:  Magazine for Paper Lovers, a quad espresso macchiato (extra foam please!), a note, and a bill.  The bill isn't exciting, can't say as though I'm savoring that...but hey, I do happen to enjoy driving around in my car, so paying that registration fee keeps me happy.  That's one of those "ugly-beautiful" author Ann Voskamp writes about.  I think about that phrase when I'm tempted to complain about something.  I have life so good in comparison to so many in this world.  When something starts to irritate me, I take a moment to ask 'where is the beauty in this ugly?'  I have to say, it very much adds to my quality of life when I can find the blessings to appreciate!
