Simplicity

With all the color and glitz of Christmas photos the past few days, I was drawn today to something simple, serene and minimalist.  This is a small stone I like.  I brought it home from our trip to Utah last spring, and given all the many gazillion rocks we saw on our trip, for some reason, I liked this little pebble.  It has a nice heft for its size, good texture and fits well in my hand.  I keep it on my vanity and it makes me feel serene.  Not sure why it has that impact on me.....I guess some things are hard to explain, and this is just one of them.  So even though this is a very simple image, it seems an apt antidote for overload of holiday stress.
