Looking at the Little Details

For me, what brings me joy is looking for the little details in life and nature that are easy to miss. When on a walk or in my garden, I notice the perfection of a leaf or the varied colours in a flower. I appreciate seeing a bird and its unique way it cleans off its beak or methodically pecks at a branch or watching a squirrel as it bops and hops along. I am joyful that my grown daughters are also see these little details and I smile when they point out the interesting texture of a tree or a shape of a rock that they like.

Sometimes life is so hard and joy seems unpredictable but by taking the time to find a small detail like I've mentioned, the joy can feel huge.
