The Beauty of Life
It’s amazing how something as simple as cutting into cabbage can make you realize how great life is. How amazing God is. Even if you’re not religious, is it possible to look at something as beautiful as this red cabbage and not be amazed?
I haven’t disappeared. I haven’t blogged in a while, but my life has really begun a new adventure. My schedule at work has completely changed, and I’ve taken on new responsibility, and this brought me to a great career opportunity. Right now, life is good. I have MANY blog updates to come so stay tuned. And now, to take a feature I really enjoy in one of the blog’s I read (she often asks a question at the end of her post, and I really like this), let me ask you a question.
Is there anything in your life, that is so simple, yet totally eye-opening? For me, it was this beautiful cabbage. It opened my eyes to how simple, yet complex, and amazing life is.
**Per request, here’s the coleslaw I made with the red cabbage. I also used it in salads. I just never took a picture of the coleslaw, there’s no way I could of gotten it to photograph well, but it was mighty delicious! I saw the recipe on Tastespotting**

Welcome back. That cabbage is really beautiful, I like it when I take a minute to stop and appreciate the smaller things in life.
What you didn’t tell us was what you made with this beautiful cabbage. The CU looks like it could be a pattern on a china plate.
That's a provoking question, I'm not sure, I'll have to think on it more (at work right, now)
The cabbage was indeed gorgeous especially as I LOVE it. I can eat it just like that though I prefer it with a splash of vinegar and maybe a bit of salt & pepper.

To answer you question…my 4 year old daughters mind. It amazes me how young she is, but the simple things she says can teach you so much about love, God, and life. She loves with no question, she gives with all her heart, she has the innocents that you wish you could hold onto forever, and she always sees beauty in everyday things.
So many things! I keep my pot of basil by my desk so when I get frustrated, I just think of the basil growing, doing it’s thing. It just amazes me how something so perfect can just BE.
