Noticer quote: “If one makes a mistake, then an apology is usually sufficient to get things back on an even keel. However-and this is a big ‘however’- most people do not ever know why their apology did not seem to have any effect. It is simply that they did not make a mistake; they made a choice…and never understood the difference between the two.” ― Andy Andrews, The Noticer: Sometimes, All a Person Needs Is a Little Perspective

Overwhelmed, Overjoyed, or Opening to life? I must remind myself: I am constantly choosing.
