Sitting in my yard on a beautiful afternoon, and this little visitor arrived...

I was sitting in my backyard sipping tea when this little pale grasshopper hopped onto the table beside me.

Very unusual pale color. Turns out, it had just molted. That tiny moment reminded me how much life is happening all around us if we just slow down and pay attention. It’s easy to get caught up in stress or noise, but the world keeps offering quiet reminders that change and growth are natural, even beautiful.

That grasshopper, fresh and fragile, felt like a small sign to stay open to new beginnings. Just being still for a while let me see something I would've missed. That feels like a kind of everyday magic. :)
