Living in the city, especially suburbia can get a little hot, noisy, stressful and hectic in the summertime. This week I had a wonderful venture out of the cement jungle and headed to the hills for a wonderful afternoon with a girlfriend. We celebrated my birthday at a quaint pizzeria, and then window shopped through wonderful artisan shops in this little bustling mountain town.
When you take moments to look around, you can find re-purposed planting boxes, which is of course after my own heart! I love this old basin that has been re-purposed as a clever planter. Summertime in Colorado is so beautiful, and there are such wonderful surprises around every corner, just quaint little pops of colors, people dining outside on patios with their trusted four-legged side kicks beside them...it made me want to rent a little cabin and go explore for days! For four hours, I was lost in the beauty, the sound of the stream moving through town, and of course the sparkling silver that shown through jewelry boutique windows! I love looking at pieces of art, especially local artisans....I was truly inspired to get some fresh pieces made!
There was wonderful girl chit chat with my dear friend, and laughter, and there are seasons in your life when laughter is by far the very best medicine...and being out of town for a little break from reality never hurts either! Life is really all about the little things, which is so odd, because we aren't suppose to "Sweat the small stuff," but on the contrary...it is all about the little things, and anything other than that should really be looked at as nothing more than just noise. Shelter, food, health, friends, family, love and laughter, this is all you need to be complete...
The rest, well the rest is just gravy! Have a wonderful weekend!
