Things that have put a smile on my face this week
1. Hand wind surfing out both sides of a car window.

11. Black-eyed Susan’s blooming like crazy.

Just noticing some of the good stuff.
There’s plenty of attention paid to the hard things, the challenges, the break your heart moments. I’m just trying to balance the scale a little here.
It kinda works. I’m smiling, at least.
Are you?
