Welcome to Finding Beauty in Everyday Encounters.
I developed this blog to share some ideas about finding beauty in the little, and sometimes not so little, things that we encounter in our daily lives. I think with the onslaught of information we see today, whether from television and radio or social media such as Facebook, Twitter, etc… it is easy to focus on the negative and sometimes frightening images thrown at us. We easily and understandably forget that despite the constant negative news about our environment, politics, and the societal upheaval, there is still a lot of beauty surrounding us. Sometimes we just have to dig a little. Or as my dear Aunt Thelma once said to me, “You’re the kind of girl that goes kicking through the sh*t looking for a pony, aren’t you?”.
Well yes. Yes I am.
So c’mon. Let’s take this journey together. Sometimes we might journey into the spiritual, sometimes we’ll be goofy and fun, sometimes quietly musing or pensive. Anyway, I hope it will give us something to chew on.
