About Simply Susan

Made in England, Susan grew up particularly enjoying collecting second hand books and visiting jumble sales for bargains. She moved to Australia where she developed a passion for 'Treasure' hunting in opportunity shops. This led to her home becoming a refuge for orphaned bears and an assortment of hand made objects. Susan loves to spend her time creating beautiful country crafts and writing poems about her creations and life experiences. When not busily sewing or writing Susan enjoys hosting themed afternoon teas for her friends and relaxing in her home on the beautiful Gold Coast. May you enjoy Simply Susan's musings.

The Wonder of it All

Woke early this morning, ( 'cos its a working day, the weekend fun is over), to the sound of kookaburras laughing in the distance, in the background the roar of the ocean. When I opened the curtains, I was greeted by a beautiful sunrise. The sky was ablaze with gold and blue, vivid colour everywhere.
Yesterday I picked a flower from an Hibiscus bush that grows in our garden.  The flower is the most stunning shade of tangerine, the deep centre magenta and a long stamen tip laden with pollen - just gorgeous.  Yet the flower last only one day.  The bush takes years to mature and flower and these gorgeous, complex blooms last for just one day.
Both these assaults of beauty cause me to ponder the wonder of fleeting beauty, the sunrise and the flower, just two examples of the beauty all around us every day, given to us by God to enjoy and enhance our days.  No matter how fleeting the beauty, moments or a day, God doesn't stint on the details or depth of the beauty.I am so glad and grateful that these wonders are made for us to beautify our world.  I encourage you to take time and enjoy these blessings.

Have a great day
Love
Simply Susan
