texture tuesday ~ a new day

 

IMG_8311-Edit

finish each day and be done with it.  you have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can.  tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.  ~ralph waldo emerson

    we all need to be reminded of this from time to time I think Kelly. Love how you did the Texture Tuesday at the bottom of your post also.

    Love seeing the green of your photo since we’re only seeing dreary weather and snow and very cold temps. Can’t wait for Springtime. Love your quote also and one that I need to post for myself daily. 🙂 Happy Tuesday.

    “nonsense” is a great word. : )
    and that green is so wonderful to the eyes.

    One of my favorite poems — and your image fits perfectly. I love the way you captured the light.

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
