The number of astounding things in the world largely depends on our willingness to be astounded.
What have you been amazed by lately?

While I was waiting in an office for a doctor’s report, I stood at the window and began to concentrate on the trees: so many shapes, some angular, the redbuds; the pine, straight up with 12 growth intersections; the ones that are just beginning to show the green haze of Spring growth; the ornate shapes of the shadows on the ground next to some of them since the light was coming from an acute angle and then the barks of various textures, rough, smooth, light, dark and colors. What a wonderful world of trees. How is it that I have never seen all of this before?
I watched my city’s video about zero-sort recycling. Residents don’t have to sort their recyclables at home. The recyclables are sorted at a plant. Very little of it is done by hand. Fans blow paper upward, out of the general stream of trash, and there are screens and heavier things sink and lighter things go on. So somehow they can dump truckloads of mixed recyclables in, and it all gets sorted out (and kind of sorts itself).
(Please forgive me, it was an 8 minute video I’m trying to summarize.)
So encouraging that this is happening, Maggie. More and more recycling is better and better!
