“I understand now that I’m not a mess, but a deeply feeling person in a messy world. I explain that now, when someone asks me why I cry so often, I say, ‘For the same reason I laugh so often – because I’m paying attention.'” – Glennon Doyle Melton

A couple of fun things I spotted lately while doing my best to learn to be present and pay attention to all of the goodness this life has to offer…

Joy in someone’s litter.

Beauty and life trying to find its unlikely way in the median of an interstate.

A puppy in the early hours of the morning…not quite ready to start the day, but not wanting to miss the latest in the world outside.

And, of course, love.

Always, always love.
