Day 36: Evergreen

There is something extraordinary about rain that make you crave being near the ones you adore—people and creatures alike.  And for that, I love (and will always love) this rainy place. 

Day 35: Christmas Eve

I had almost forgot that I have a blog. 

It's been some time since I posted my last entry. It's a shame. There is so much good that I've let go unnoticed.

To recap, here is the concept of my blog:

"It's simple. Finding all that is wrong in the world is an easy task—one that we seem to constantly be tripping over. And as we're finding our way back to our feet, all we can see is the wrong that sent us falling. We keep our eyes glued to it. Afraid that if we look away it will strike again. But all the while that our eyes are glued to that which is wrong, we miss all that is right in the world. Our vision is tunneled and we neglect the beauty in our periphery.

The concept of my blog is simple. It is to, for a liberating moment, release my gaze from all that is wrong and focus in—even for the slightest moment—on that which is right. That which is good. That which is kind. To plant the tiniest seed of decency, nurture it with love and goodwill, and have hope that something beautiful will bloom. And when it does, that which is right in the world will become the focus of my gaze, sending that which is wrong to my periphery; a spot where I can see it just well enough that I need not stumble over it."

I have experienced, and continue to experience, so much good. Life is full of good— beautiful deeds, tender moments, and subtle reminders. Subtle reminders that, if we allow it, life is full of enchantment, amity, and love. Subtle reminders that, all is well if we let it be. 

As I reflect on the incessant good, something stands out. 

This is it..

This person is the epitome of finding all that is right in the world. Optimism is his second nature. His sprightliness and exuberance are fuel for good. He oozes with contagious happiness and charm. His sights are perpetually fixed on all things positive. His ability to find beauty in the ugliest of circumstances floors me— it's unreal. I am infinitely grateful that I get to spend all of my days with him.
