Towel Tossing Thoughts

Clouds at play

It is so easy to take for granted the common things.  An easily dismissed moment can become something intriguing and even more beautiful when we pause to notice it. Clouds playing in the sky are moments like that for me. I'm in awe of clouds, always have been.  In particular, I love the fluffy white… Continue reading Clouds at play
