Nearly all the best things that came to me in life have been unexpected, unplanned by me.

Sunny Little Thing
It will be 82 degrees and sunny here in southern Ohio today. It is Wednesday, we all woke up this morning and there’s a long weekend on the horizon.
Let’s enjoy this day. Shall we? Let’s be a sunny little thing!
It’s What You See
The question is not what you look at, but what you see. Thoreau’s Journal, August 5, 1851
It’s Saturday! Go see something fabulous. Better yet, go somewhere ordinary and look for something extraordinary. That’s when the magic happens – when you look for the good and the special in the ordinary.
You may be surprised at what you will see!
Just Bloom
“A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms.”– Zen Shin
Let’s all learn from the flowers, shall we? Now go. Bloom and be happy and without worry.
Have a happy Sunday, friends!
Daffodils In Snow
We awoke to a light snowfall yesterday morning. It didn’t even last till lunch but it was a lovely sight all the same.
I’m not sure these pretty little daffodils were so pleased to be blanketed in snow but it made me smile to see how bravely they stood up to it.
Isn’t that how life goes? Everything seems sunny and happy and then something harsh comes along and kills the mood for a while. Luckily, those mood killers typically don’t last forever and the sun will eventually come back.
It’s Never Too Late
Van Gogh only painted for the last ten years is his life. He started at the age of 27 and painted over 2,000 pieces including some of the world’s great masterpieces
You know what that means?
It’s never too late to embrace your passion. We clearly can’t all be Van Gogh but we can start a new hobby, peruse a better career and get to work on what matters.
If not today, then when?
