all you have to do is look for it.
Thanking the Google as always for accommodating my wishes with this one.
Those of you who've been following me (thank you soooooo freakin' much) will know that I have been shaving bars of soap this week. As you may or may not remember, I bought four bars last Sunday & have already successfully shaved all of them.
I am happy yo say that all of my soaps are now beautifully ensconced in various glass containers & sitting on the window sill in the CoW. Look, I even took a picture with my ACTUAL CAMERA for you.

(L - R) Mango, Lavender Chamomile, Plumeria, Bamboo Orchid, Honey, Pink Grapefruit, Persimmon & Blackberry Vanilla
I seriously think this is a gorgeous sight. Really, ask all of my boys, I've been bragging about it & dragging their friends in to see it too. (Anyone who doesn't agree has been denied entry to the "food closet" aka the pantry. So far they've all loved it.)
We all know that I'm not only easily amused, pleased, tickled pink &/or confused, so it should come as no surprise that I love seeing this every time I enter my CoW. (What I will not show you is the thing covered window seat just below & in front of the window, which is currently home to the Double Decker Lazy Susan full of glitter, crafting nail polish, bead jars, most of my scissors collection in a beer stein from Germany, all of my colored pencils & glue & soooooo much more.)
Believe it or not, as much as I adore having a "Window Soap" collection, I found something more beautiful today as I was shaving the last bar of soap. (Blackberry Vanilla in case you're wondering.) It's actually the reason I picked up the camera camera & not my cell phone, which admittedly is what I use for most of the pics I take.
Anyway, I wanted to share with you absolutely simple beauty in these pieces of soap that decided to go against the rest of the pieces. Honestly, probably more than 96% of the pieces I shaved off this bar just came off in sheets.

The way these pieces of soap just naturally curled when I shaved them was just so....
Today my friends, I found extra beauty in some pieces of soap. Even now, more than two hours after I took that picture, I am still struck by it. (I even like the way they all fit into the lid of the jar that was waiting for them.)
I feel a sort of kinship with these soap curls. Because even though all of the pieces I shaved are beautiful, these are more than that, they're unique. Just like you. Just like me.
I think one of the keys to leading a happier life is to realize, that we are all beautiful in our own ways. There is beauty (& joy) all around us, in everything. We just have to learn to look for it.
Until sometime later, I leave you m'luvs to contemplate the beauty in your life.
Aloha hugs,
