Intention

Each day presents new opportunity to view life from a different perspective. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the daily grind that we forget to stop for a moment and reflect on the beauty that surrounds us or just be present in the moment. The daily perspective is a personal blog reminding me to pause each day and take in a moment or experience, capture it and store that moment in time.
