So I have missed my smile...or I should say my dimples. That is why this blog is named dimples and such. I was just in Africa and I kept seeing these wonderful kids with huge smiles and these huge dimples and I would get so excited because it was like we had this connection point despite the fact we couldn't speak the same language. these kids were smiling even though they may not be eating that day or whatever hardship was coming their way they still chose to smile and of course it just makes you smile back. I realized how much I haven't smiled a lot lately because I have just been bogged down in life or have let fear replace my hope which makes my dimples not show up as much.
Its funny dimples are actually a deformity..I know crazy but I just think now its funny how God can turn something that could have not been so cute into something that is so beautiful and fun. Much like He does with our brokenness- He can redeem our broken hearts and broken lives into something with such beauty that makes others around us see that there is hope.
..so I recreated this blog with a sole purpose... to hold me accountable to bringing my dimples back. I have a whole list of things that I haven't done in Austin that I have been saying I wanted to do for a while but have let life get in the way...
I was inspired by a couple of things the movie Julie/Julia project...check out the preview if you are curious. And of course my recent trip to Uganda, Africa. They do such an amazing celebrating life amongst community. I realized I need do this so much more. I have realized I have been letting life pass me by or hibernating for whatever reason. Yep no longer! So, you may ask what kinds of things are you going to do...well here is my tentative list...feel free to make suggestions...
1. Cooking class at Central Market
2. Tour all the art museums besides my fave the Blanton which I tend to gravitate towards.
3. Kayaking on town lake
4. Dance class at Ballet Austin
5. walk the trails at the wildflower center
6. See a play or musical
7. See an orchestra concert at the Long Center
that's all I got. so let me know if you have any suggestions or if you want to join me on any of these adventures just let me know! thanks friends for supporting me in this pursuit.
