The most unexpected ones.

It is the unexpected that changes our lives -Unknown.

I count my blessings often. Especially the ones finding their way to me when I never expected it.

Every dawn brings something for each one of us. When we care to pay attention, we can unleash the beauty in everyday things.

My day starts with a visitor or a few staring at me through my kitchen window. The beautiful bluebirds cannot stop staring at me as I brew my coffee. It is the universe affirming me that I am being watched over.

The leaves on a twig moving in the direction of the breeze remind me to not overthink and go with the flow of life.

Birds lined up on my picketed fence yearn to be noticed. But the moment I turn to look, they take off and fly away. Like some kind of a joke?! Nevertheless, they bring back my fluttering thoughts to the present!

Dressed up in vibrant colors, she shows up dazzling along the skyline. Wait, a rainbow without any rains? What better reason can it have than to illuminate my soul?!

The beauty of magic unveils itself only to the seekers. To those who are present in the moment. The ones who wait to welcome the unexpected.

Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life -Rachel Carson.

I wake up every day excited to unwrap the gifts of nature sent directly from above.
