The world around me

I have to agree with Barbara Baig.  Writing every day this month has made me much more aware of the world around me, much more in tune to my surroundings. I keep looking for writing topics.  I am noticing and savoring things I have been taking for granted.  Things like the creaminess of my favorite Starbucks coffee--the Skinny Vanilla Latte,  the sharp barking of the dogs next door to my son's house, the yeasty smell of Toscani's pizza, the warm laughter of family, the earthy aroma of the backyard.  All slices for another day.
