Little Wonders

I love that Rob Thomas song, Little Wonders:

our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain

I try to notice those little wonders every day. Today was especially filled with them. Mira woke up wildly excited, because today was the day she was to become a junior. This is a big rite of passage in Girl Scouts, and Mira has been counting down the days like it was Christmas.

I like this picture, with Ryan in the background, always supportive and happy for her:

and here's Mira crossing the bridge from being a Brownie to being a Junior:
