Magic bits of our days carry a key for me. That key unlocks all those little bits and pieces, small moments that make me smile.
Laughter floating through air, a leaf coasting upon it.
Sun shinning through a spider's night shift masterpiece.
Felines stretched long; furry bellies soaking up sun.
Painted toes, never seen beneath a warm winter shoe.
Fresh crayon boxes, filled with pointy rainbows.
Overflowing tubs of broken crayons; hand pressed stories in every break.
Rain water's curbside travels, breaking at each tiny pebble in its path.

So thankful to believe in the magic.
What about you?
Happy to be linking up with Bits of Bee today on her meme hosting maiden voyage! I have always been driven by, inspired by, made better by taking in the words of others. I've had quote journals, walls covered in quotes written on post-its, and now, thanks to Pinterest, a Letters Word Type Talk board celebrating words themselves.
And a meme dedicated to that very thing I love? Perfect.
I found the above image on Pinterest and via that, have had an opportunity to check out the rest of the artist's site. Definitely go see Madi Illustration for yourself!
