Evening mist blankets
Quiet hope lies patiently
As daylight withers 

Although you might not understand why, you are exactly where you need to be right now.

On my journey out into winter wonderland today, I somehow managed to drop my sunglasses, and of course because of the snow, I didn’t hear or see them fall. When I realized that they were gone, I told myself that it must have happened for a reason.

That reason was to randomly find them an hour or so later on my walk back. I snickered to myself, put them on, and smiled all the way home.

It is amazing what a leisurely stroll outdoors can do to energize one’s soul.

Nature is truly my favourite pick-me-up. Here are some photos of some friends and sights I met along the way. Today’s recommendation: get outside and enjoy the summer while it’s still with us!
