You know how we always seem to be chasing the big You know how we always seem to be chasing the big and shiny moments?! 

Well, I think it's a scam, a distraction from where the magic really resides. 

The small, everyday moments that make up a life. The moments we will feel nostalgia for decades from now. 

Dinner simmering on the stove while the dogs are snoring and the husband is hugging me.

Long, crispy Sunday walks in October.

A warm bath after a long and delicious day of gardening.

Discovering a cozy new bookstore that seems to be hidden from the crowds.

Early morning trips to the farmer's market.

I don't know about you, but I marvel at the magnificence of these ordinary things. They fill my heart with awe and gratitude in a way that invigorates my soul.

Oh glorious October! Don't tell the others, but y Oh glorious October!

Don't tell the others, but you are my absolute favorite. With your golden light, crispy aired mornings and apple and cinnamon pies. 

How you move my soul and inspire my heart.

Year after year, after year.

I notice your every scent, texture and color.
I have a profound reverence for your beauty.🍂

You know what my favorite thing about this image i You know what my favorite thing about this image is?! 

It's knowing how her life started and how unlikely it seemed that she would end up on a big soft couch of her own. 

How a fortunate chain of events brought her here, to this house... where dogs are the main characters. 

Where dogs aren't only loved but revered.

She was born surrounded by careless humans, to then be found by humans who cared enough to find her, and her siblings a loving home.

There is a lot of cruelty in this world, nearly all of it inflicted by humans. But there's a lot of goodness too. The helpers, the ones who care, the ones who are brave enough to not look away. The ones who feel a deeply rooted urge to restore, beautify and heal the world around them. 

Humans who often feel defeated by the darkness but refuse to come out of the light.

That's what this image reminded me of. 

Thank you to the helpers, the brave ones, that brought this lucky charm of a dog to our lives. 🩷🦊
