There's Magic In Every Day

I may watch the news once in a week and that's about it. I realize that the world is going through some things that need serious attention and I am responsible to be the change that I wish to see. However, I choose to focus on that which vibrate high for myself. I do this by paying attention to the minutiae that is present all over this grand city. The things that I see are so refreshing sometimes that I just smile inside and express my gratitude without telling anyone.
