Monkey Rock

I have been really homesick lately and really anxious to see my family and friends. I miss the green of Minnesota and the millions of lakes (not really millions..but it seems that way). i have been struggling the past week with staying focused because all i can think about is wanting to go home and be outta school for the summer, but today Hayley, Carly Jo, Karisa, and I went to Monkey Rock, its a gorgeous sandy beach on the "lake" (lake is is in quotations...well, because i AM from Minnesota and "lakes" in Idaho..well they aren't really lakes) overlooking a waterfall, that is let me add; gorgeous <3

I could not be more thankful for the things that God created on this Earth. I found myself mesmerized by the falling water and the sound of it. As i walked out into the water i found myself slipping on the rocks at the bottom, i bent down to pick up one of them, to find it perfectly smooth and round. I stared at it for a second and thought about how it got that way...i realized that the happenings of this rock is to complex for me to fathom. I have learned that its the simple things i get caught up in the most. the way the cold water felt over my body, the water from the falls pushing past me . the way I lost my breath when i went under, and the warmth of the gorgeous sun in the sky. I close my eyes and let my thoughts wander but nothing crosses my mind for a few minutes then all i could think about was the sound of the falls and how thankful i am for everything i have in my life. I find perfection in the simplest things. i cant say this enough....perfection is in the eye of the beholder. I am so thankful for the little things in my life that make me realize that there is so much more to life than we think, that perfection is possibly, perfection in our own eyes.
