“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” – Anaïs Nin

I spotted this little heart in a parking lot this evening and I was so tickled by it. Of course upon closer inspection of the photo later, I was bummed to see it was a bit of litter that was actually ripped in two pieces.

But I’ve decided to stick with what I initially saw: a love note placed in my path. In this case, I didn’t see someone else’s trash; I preferred to see a little reminder from God that I’m loved and endlessly gifted with opportunities for delight. I guess that’s just how I am.
