serenity, in a pink mailbox


isn't this such a serene picture?
i found it today when i was googling images for a powerpoint i was working on

so interesting how a picture can bring such a peaceful feeling
something about how the sun perfectly saturates the whole shot
the way the gravel path leads somewhere, through a field of grass and beautiful fall flowers
an adorable pink mailbox, which means the owner of it has great class ;)
and the stack of letters tied up so sweetly with a string
i wonder who wrote to her
letters from old friends
or new friends
birth announcements
wedding invitations
poetry
love notes
short encouragements

sometimes it's fun to get lost in a picture
to wrap yourself up in the warmth of the sun
in the words in the letters
not to wish to be someone else necessarily
but to find things within yourself that resonate with what you're seeing
to dream big about fully being exactly who you love being inside

serenity, in a pink mailbox.
