"Out of adversity, comes opportunity"

I forgot my phone today. I know, I'm a mess...I spill coffee, step in dog poo and can't remember to bring my phone to work. Cheers! After retrieving said phone, I took all these pictures. Pictures of snow falling on a sunny day. Crazy! And let's be honest, I totally captured an angel, or three, over St. Patrick's Church! Hallelujah!
I love when snafus prove to be an opportunity for the unexpected. Remember, keep your eyes and ears open and be ready for what the universe might throw at you! Most people don't plan for snow showers on a sunny day, but here we are. Most people don't plan to navigate a pandemic, but here we are.
Be on the lookout for something cool and unexpected! I'm confident that if you start looking, you'll find it. Happy hunting...
