♥ This song—a reminder to seize the day.
Lyrics here.
♥ Poet Ted Kooser. I try to write every day, whether it's fiction or memoir or just a vignette about something I've seen or done. Today feels like a poetry day. One of my biggest inspirations is Ted Kooser, a poet who has the ability to see so much in the simple things in life. I adore "Tattoo." The poem he reads in this video, "Daddy Longlegs," is also one of my favorites.
♥ Today's sunrise. I wish I would have thought to take a picture. The sky was gorgeous this morning, all pink and blue stripes—absolutely beautiful and inspiring!

DeleteSunshine found a crack in dark gray skies, and hit my desk with some golden rays at the exactly the right moment to give me a little umph today. I'd have taken a picture if I'd had a camera. It was a moment of awesome beauty!
