Living a Beautiful Life - Sweet Escapes

Sweet escapes is the theme at The Inspired Room today. I love this theme. Rather than pin all your hopes on one big vacation, take time to enjoy everyday. Treat yourself. One of my daily treats is a square (or two) of dark chocolate. I eat it when I'm by myself, usually after my lunch, and enjoy a few minutes with a cup of tea and savour the rich chocolate flavour. That's enough sweet to satisfy me.

Another thing I love to do is go through my photos. I spend a lot of time at the computer these days and I take breaks every 30 minutes or so. Sometimes I wander downstairs for another cup of tea, or do a few stretches in the living room. But I also like looking at the family photos that are stored on my computer.

Tomorrow is my husband's birthday so I thought I'd share some fun photos. He's the most wonderful man in the world and my very best friend. I love spending time with him. He makes me laugh and I do the same for him. This first photo is of Tim with his great-nephew at a family wedding last summer.

Tree climbing on Russell Island. We love being outdoors. This is an arbutus tree, also known as a madrona tree in the USA.

Kicking up heels on Russell Island with our son and daughter-in-law. I was so pleased to have captured this picture. It makes me laugh every time I see it.

And here's a fun list of things to do today...Enjoy God's wonderful gift of LIFE!
