Yet.... when I went to let the dog out, waiting irritably in the rain while he did his doggy thing, I saw the cups of the nasturtium leaves, a raindrop gem in each one, like transitory white star sapphires. And in that moment I went from miserable to enchanted, running to get my camera, standing delightedly in the rain (while, in a nice turnabout, my dog waited impatiently for me to finish up my foolishness) trying to capture even a tiny bit of the casual perfect beauty nature made.
These are the things that save me every day.

Still thinking of you all and wishing you the best. Thank God for nasturtiums - one of my favourites! It's great that you can still see this random beauty.
I think it's beautiful and amazing you still have so much love for life and you seem to be a pretty romantic woman, even with all the pressures in life including being a mother to 4--which i imagine must be a huge, HUGE responsibility. I love this. I wish more ~grownups~ I know who are all settled with children and family could be more like you :)
