Its golden crown glowed boldly against its barren brethren in a sunsetting sky. I paused just barely to admire it. It'll be gone by Monday, I thought.
And then I chastised myself. Maybe I don't pause enough to appreciate beauty. Maybe you don't, either. Let's work on this, yes?
So even though I was in a hurry, I stopped for this picture for us.
Today two friends celebrated birthdays. Today I heard of another woman my age diagnosed with breast cancer. Today I passed a terrible accident on the Beltway.
Today I thought I was too busy for beauty, but I let beauty win over my thoughts.
Today I came home to my lovely family and a weekend that is chock filled with good plans.
I hope your weekend is full, too. Happy weekend, my friends.
