Beauty in everyday life....

I tend to find beauty in the simple things in life that most people might find unusual.  I think it's important to look at things with "fresh eyes" and from the perspective of a small child.  As adults it's important for us to stay curious and "see" the world as if for the first time...with awe and curiosity.  In doing so, I think we can learn to appreciate more and learn to embrace moments in life.  I think it helps us to live life in gratitude. 

In dedication to staying curious and appreciating the simplicity in life,  I took this picture tonight.  I was boiling water to make pasta and was so mesmerized with the patterns created by the convection in the pot so I took a shot of it.  I think it's beautiful what patterns are created by boiling water. 

I don't know if anyone else can appreciate this, but I posted this pic on FB (labeled: everyday piece of art in the kitchen.  Beauty exists everywhere) and one of my friends commented, "Time for a kitchen remodel is what I see..."  And 2 people liked his comment.  Hahahah!  I think it's funny, his comment.  But I decided to share on my blog and maybe will get more smart ass comments.  But that's ok too.  Or maybe some people will appreciate this too.  :-)
