There are good reasons for overlooking some things. Focusing on the negative only leads to unhappiness, so it's a good idea to overlook little things that would otherwise harsh your mellow.
Since winter here has been intense, I thought it would be a good idea to pay closer attention to some little things that might help mellow the harsh. Like frosty dogwoods.
I really love dogwood twigs. They look like hands reaching up. And I love dogwood buds because they form early on and are a constant reminder that it won't be icy forever.
I feel my harsh getting mellower by the minute.
