Under-appreciated Things in Life

Hello friends.

Contrary to popular belief, I did not fall off the edge of the world and into washed-up blogger oblivion. Hooray! For the past month or so, I have been so busy carpe-ing diems, blogging became a bit of an afterthought, and I took an unannounced hiatus of sorts. With that said, I'm back with a vengeance, bursting with words to send into the sky for all to see.

After all, words are just one category of things I've found that receive much less appreciation than is truly deserved.

Here are some others.
