thoughts of a wandering optimist

Having spent the better part of the last year exploring this big, beautiful world we live in, I've starting to think about things in a different way; I'll use this blog to sort through these thoughts, share some of my journey, and just post things that make me happy. :)

The little things

It’s the little things that make you fall in love: the way the sun shines on the landscape, the color of the leaves as they fade from green to yellow to red; It’s the sounds you hear when you are walking down the street: your feet hitting the cobblestone, the sweet melody of people speaking in their native tongue; It’s the way you feel: a sense of freedom, peace, tranquility -as if you could conquer the world; It’s the way you learn to live that makes you fall in love somewhere… And it’s so easy to take this love for granted until it’s time to go.
