What makes us truly human may not be how fast we are able to accomplish a task but what we experience fully, carefully, and quietly in the process.

This is Day 15 of Right Here (almost the midway point — yeah!). Throughout October, I’m joining with a community of bloggers (over 1,500 strong with The Nester). Each person writing is attempting to post every day of the month about the same topic. This is a good kinda stretch. To find all posts in my 31 Days of Right Here, click here, or see the listing below.
