are apt to overlook the greatness of little things in others.

be open to it all, beginning with yourself
Especially there.
Even some] lovely people feel that their real identity is working on themselves, and some work on themselves with such harshness. Like a demented gardener who won’t let the soil settle for anything to grow, they keep raking, tearing away the nurturing clay from their own heart, then they’re surprised that they feel so empty and vacant. Self-compassion is paramount. When you are compassionate with yourself, you trust in your soul, which you let guide your life. Your soul knows the geography of your destiny better than you do.
~ John O’Donohue, from From Sincerity to Authenticity (awakin.org, April, 2007)

Love, love this. In Canada right now and enjoying all the little things. Even the cancelled flight. Had to take a bus 3 hours to Calgary. Great prairie scenery. No bears though.
Sounds wonderful. Unexpected detours to see the Land.
the image evokes thoughts of finding peace, love, and comfort with mama bear…
It does Jim, really does.
