beauty

 

 

last year,

nicole commented

that in addition to choosing a word

for the new year,

she chooses one to sum up

the previous year.

 

i love this idea.

(thanks, nicole!)

 

the word

that best describes

2011 for me

is  b e a u t y.

 

 

 

 

 

it's a lot easier

to give you a glimpse

of what i saw in 2011

than it is to explain

that the most beautiful things

weren't the ones i witnessed

in the world around me,

they were the people in my life

and the moments we shared.

 

it's these connections with friends

and loved ones

that added the most beauty

to my world in 2011.
