The Little Things Make You Feel Special

as summer approaches (it already feels like it's here), the trees become lush and green, and parkways and walks become a cool respite from the blazing sun. and in this shifting pattern of dark greens and bright drops of sunlight, little tufts of plant matter drift softly like the seeds of dandelions, fluffy and buff-coloured, catching the light and making the path feel full of magic.

even when the day is hot and you're sweating through your work clothes and there are too many things to do and too many people to contact, it's good to let a little child-like magic slip in. you don't even have to stop (like smelling the roses). just notice, while you're on your way. it's the little things that often make the big things worth it.

like a cat curling up by your side. or a bird singing outside your window.
