Glimmers

Whilst vacuuming this morning I came across a sliver of plastic from the artificial Christmas tree. How they propagate long after being disassembled in my house is a mystery, but one that often brings a smile. It’s just fun to find something unexpected when you’re doing a mundane task.

And then – Voila! My lost ruby earring shows up on the floor of the laundry room. Why I even knelt down to examine the inside of the dryer was a mystery, but how the earring showed up, not so much. I’m sure it was roped in with the bedding I was washing. Still – another little “glimmer.”

It’s important to find those tiny glints of joy as we navigate the day, or the “razzle dazzle” as my MIL used to say. The deer bedding down in the backyard last night. The bat I rattled from his rest on the road when I biked past him. Just unexpected and delightful incidents.

Looking forward to the next glimmer!
