Yesterday…

Troubles have a way of sneaking up on us… we see them on the horizon sometimes, and then before we know it they are staring us in the face. I have been in a funk the past few weeks, nothing major, just probably some change of season blues in alignment with some impending work deadlines. It's all good, really, and I am totally equal to the challenges that lay before me, sometimes I just have to remind myself of that.

The first step in the right direction is seeing the beauty and goodness around me, and recognizing that I am only responsible for myself, no one else's bad behavior belongs to me.

Here are a few beautiful things that I saw today, and I am thankful for :) My horse isn't here, but she's always in my heart.

Sweetest puppy ever.

Camera-shy.

Moooooommmmmm…. stop embarrassing me!

Fine… take my picture, if you must.

Fairy ring.

Fall shroomies. 

Gills. 

Cap.

Lovely lavender.

Last blooms of the year.

Perfection.
