One of my favorite song lyrics comes from Ani DiFranco:
...when I look down,
I just miss all the good stuff.
And when I look up,
I just trip over things.
On Wednesday October 2nd, 2013, I decided to risk tripping in hopes of seeing the good stuff. As I went around my daily routine, I paused to look up at the sky. This started as a way to fulfill the creative assignment for October, but proved to be an exercise in mindfulness.
Here are a few pictures that capture what I saw.

Biddeford, ME 10:30 am
Stopped at a traffic light, driving from the YMCA, where I swam laps, to the Kennebunk Town Offices to pay property taxes. |

Kennebunk, ME 11:15 am
On the way into the Kennebunk Free Library. Unfortunately I forgot the library doesn't open until 12:30 on Wednesdays. |

At the playground. My kids and I had a picnic lunch after my son's preschool. |

West Kennebunk, ME 1:30 pm
Work time. The view of the sky from my office window. The writing was not the best today, but at least there was writing. |

Mother's Beach, Kennebunk, ME 5:00 pm
Our family welcomes this extra beach day in October. |
