Optimism...

It is Friday... another week at work.  Some weeks my job is good, but this week wasn't one of them.  I work in a windowless basement doing computer support.  The office building is nestled on a service road of Sunrise Highway on Long Island.  You hear incessant traffic noise.

To top it off, the neighborhood has seen better days.

But today I noticed that nature has a way of reminding you what is important.  A litter-strewn vacant lot right on the highway reminded me that beauty is everywhere.

The flowers are just beautiful!

So take joy in the little things!  A field of flowers made my day!
