Friday Things Considered: The Valentine’s Day Edition

Happy Valentine’s Day!   A few weeks ago I was stuck on a muddy road outside Tarma, Peru waiting over an hour for construction to clear. Was I frustrated? Of course. But after awhile I stopped fussing about getting to our destination and started focusing on the  unexpected beauty around me.  I saw a good deal to love–including these “I ♥ Tarma” signs everywhere.  Stuck in the mud on my way somewhere else, I began to ♥ Tarma myself.

Here are a few lovely things I came across this week:

Love lessons from 100 happy couples.

The myth of Prince Charming.

Hot matchstick art.

Sweetheart pinchusions.

Valentine’s table centerpiece.

Pink Cake!

XOXOXO

    Beauty is indeed all around us and if it takes a traffic jam or a few minutes of waiting then so be it. I often find that we all need reminders to savor what’s right in front of us.
