As I was putting the trash can and recycling bin back in their places this evening, my eye strayed to a spot just beneath the bottom deck step. Tucked in the corner is a single-stemmed impatiens, blooming in the shadows. My first thought was to relocated this brave flower to one of my empty pots. Upon further reflection, I chose to leave it as a reminder to take joy in the small and the unexpected, savoring those discoveries that can help brighten any day, any circumstance--a moment in time that can comfort and sustain again and again.
