Stop and Look

by Dinah Wulf

Writing this blog has changed my life in so many ways. Even though there are very few people that even read it, I’m sure, I have truly taken ownership of it.

I get excited when I have time to sit down and write and everytime I am amazed by the other talented and creative bloggers out there. (If your thinking about blogging… DO IT!) I look at the world a lot differently then I used to. In some sense, I appreciate the small moments and the little things around me even more than I already did.

Today I decided to go for a quick stroll with my daughter. As always I had my camera with me. I decided to take pictures of the flowers (and weeds) along the way. I could not believe how many pictures I took; almost two dozen in ten minutes… too many to post.

As you can see, there is inspiration all around, literally a few yards from my house and even some in my back yard. I proudly and can confidently admit, I do NOT have a green thumb. Some of these flowers, actually all of these flowers exist without my help.

I couldn’t believe that in the two years that I have lived in this humble abode that I have never once stopped to look at the botanical life around me and admire its beauty until now. I encourage you to stop and look and be inspired by your surroundings. You never know what you’ll walk right by and miss.
