I have a tendency to look deep into something and analyze why and how it has impacted or will impact my life, but sometimes I find myself completely missing the point until said point jumps out of the bushes and slaps me in the face. In other words, life's biggest inspirations are hiding in plain sight. The name of this blog is a perfect example of that sneaky little critter. You may remember me saying that my mind was blank at the beginning of this post. Well, the "blog name" field was as equally blank until I happened to hear a line spoken on the TV in the other room. My husband was watching some conspiracy theory type show and one of the lines I actually heard was, "hidden in plain sight". You guessed it. I was inspired. That "a-ha" moment hit me like a train. I knew what I was suppose to call my blog. I am learning throughout life that inspiration takes many different forms and can morph into whatever it must in order to get your attention.
The purpose of this blog is to force me to reflect on and share my everyday inspirations. I am certain that there will be plenty of rambling along the way and probably some trials and tribulations to be told as well. The moral of this post is simple: open your eyes. Life is happening all around you and the inspiration you need may be right in front of you.
On that note, I am going to end this post and include a picture that I took at my daughter's school. I was asked to photograph the library for the website and was drawn to the contrasting colors of a bench and some pillows in the library. I couldn't help but get down on the floor and snap a pic. I hope it makes you feel as cheery as it made me.
