It's Hard To Believe That December Starts In 5 Hours

Weird, huh?

In some random wanderings I came across this blog by a woman who rescued a 10-day-old coyote and posts photos of him growing up every day. It's really interesting, and he is super cute. I recommend scrolling all the way to the end and working backwards.

Then I looked to find out more about the author and she has this other blog about a trip across the U.S. on a Vespa. How awesome is that?

I really liked this paragraph that she wrote:

Where The Lessons Are
Adversity is a teenager with studded lips and lobes and a sullen expression. If you turn your back or say cruel things, it will glare at you in return and be none the worse off; it expected such behaviour, anyway. It comes to you on the defensive, but comes to you nonetheless. And if you are not intimidated or disapproving; if you are not judgmental of an exterior you may consider harsh, and instead, relate to it in respect, you’ll find a liveliness and a brilliance, a purity, a revelation, a gift.
