Doors

I have always found doors to be very intriguing.  They are objects that can seem so plain and boring and necessary, but once you really start paying attention to them, there are some really quite interesting doors.

For example, I started looking on Pinterest and the images of different door designs that continuously pop up in my newsfeed are fascinating. In my eyes they quickly turn from just another boring object to something that can be turned into a work of art.

During travel to other cities and states, I especially like to pay close attention to the different masterpieces that lead into someone's home or workplace.

I also love what doors resemble. They are the entry way into everything in life. Into someone's whole world that you may  have never known about before. They hold memories behind them and open up for future opportunities.

I think by paying attention to the little details it relates directly to the notion in life of it being the little things in life that really do matter.

Realizing the power in the little things in life and that those instances really make life special is an amazing realization. The special people in my life and the actions they take on a daily basis from that simple goodmorning text to a call making sure everything in life is going alright is something I have started to pay much more attention to and be much more grateful for. Life can change so quickly, in the blink of an eye, making it so important to me to slow down and remember how blessed I really am.

"When one door closes another door opens, but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." -Alexander Graham Bell

So occasionally me and a friend or family would go somewhere to play it, like Big B Bingo. For awhile this turned into something fun to go check out on the regular. One day my mom and I went together. She was a little reluctant about going because she was more in the mood for having a good, rowdy time. I don't know if you've ever been to this venue but it is pretty much the exact opposite of "rowdy". I'll set the scene for you. The people there are very serious about their bingo and it is quiet enough that you could hear a pin drop. Oh well, we still decided to go just for a few rounds. My mom had a drink or two before knowing there wouldn't be alcohol there so our table was already a little bit louder than the rest. We finally got our boards and got a couple games in. All of sudden my mom was asking the person next to her if the patt...
