#SOL22 Beauty's where you find it (Vogue) Day 26 of 31

"Beauty's where you find it."
-"Vogue", Madonna

Driving to the barn today for Megan's horseback riding lesson, Megan continued to DJ. After listening to "Material Girl", Spotify must have suggested other Madonna songs. We listened to "Express Yourself" and then I suggested "Vogue." Dancing along in the car, I sang along to "Beauty's where you find it" and thought- that is my song for today.  (Each day this month, my blog post has been inspired by a song.)

Beauty's where you find it.

It's in the soft caramel colored fluffy fur of Teddy, and his big black nose and soulful eyes. It's the feeling I get when he rests on my lap and I pet him.

Beauty's where you find it.

It's in the text message my former principal sends me every weekend, just to say hi and check in. That thoughtful connections always makes me smile.

Beauty's where you find it.

It's in the way my son, Alex, races across the field at the park, flags streaming behind him as players try to grab one and the cheers that go up as he scores a touchdown.

It's in the confidence my daughter, Megan, has as she sits on top of a horse and tries something new at her lesson.

It's a radiologist report that says nothing is remarkable or stands out from your mammogram. 

Beauty's where you find it.

It's in the news that someone who lost a baby girl is now pregnant with identical twins who are girls. 

Beauty's where you find it.

It's empty strollers at a train station in Poland so refugees from the Ukraine have something for their babies. 

Beauty's where you find it.

It's in the pictures your students draw for you, big hearts that say "Best Teacher Ever" on the days when you feel far from that.
