This beautiful world
Maria had a point when she sang "My favorite things".
When you can overcome the pink candy-stripey-ness of it, it really makes a lot of sense to look at the good things in life - especially in those times when life just isn't good at all! This world can be such a hectically fantastically weird and disturbing place that thinking about it for too long makes my head spin. Reality deals in such great and equally horrible ways sometimes that it's not always easy to keep a positive mindset.
However when I feel like I'm farting against thunder, a positive mindset is one of the most valuable things to have and a life skill that is highly underestimated. And what really helps when it comes to that is to just notice the beauty around you. And believe me - there's plenty! Most of the time it's not very obvious at all though, and it's easy to just walk right past it.
Luckily having two wonderful daughters has taught me to stop and look at the world up close - it's an amazing thing! Just have a look at these little beauties of nature...
Enjoy!
