an entry from my daily whimsical moments notebook dated september 4th: "our little buck sat down in the grass near the house for a rest."  there are a few mama deer that have and raise their babies on our land. our little buck, as we call him, is her yearling. he began growing antlers in the spring; just wee nubs at the beginning. he, along, with mama and her twins born this spring, come often to the yard to snuffle up cracked corn thrown in the grass for the birds. the day he sat down in the yard, so close to the house, he was alone sniffing for corn and then he sat! just hanging out in the yard the way a dog would. our little buck!

are you keeping a daily whimsical moments notebook? if not, today is a great day to begin. any notebook will do; develop whatever system works best for you. each day pay attention to those moments that catch your attention or take you by surprise or make you laugh or pause in thought. at the end of the day, record a moment in your notebook.  some days i have more than one so i record them all.  one cannot have too many daily whimsical moments, after all! this daily activity allows us to find a moment of whimsey in a day that might not have been as pleasant or easy as we would have liked. also, we can look back through our whimsical moments notebook and read how wonderful our days actually are amid the responsibilities of life.
