your daily rock : blow bubbles

July 16, 2013 in Daily Rock, Give / Freely

When’s the last time you blew bubbles?

They are magical, ethereal, beautiful, and a reminder to let go.

And mostly, they are fun.

Blowing them, taking baths in them, catching them, looking at the colors in them, you name it—bubbles are big news at our house. Colorful “Fun Bubbles” bottles decorate our porch and punctuate our landscape so that at any turn, your desire to launch a few can be realized.

Tess likes to blow bubbles and then run after them, holding her little plastic bubble wand out in front of her like a landing gear, hoping to touch one of them so it will swirl and come to a resting place atop the circle of plastic from which it was born, a precarious balance of birthing and holding onto—I know the feeling.

Keep a bottle in your desk drawer or in the kitchen cabinet and surprise yourself and others with these magical creatures. Often.

Blow bubbles today.

Love,
