SunnJax 🌞🏳️‍🌈 :Fire_Pride:<p>The Kitchen View: While making lunch today, I stopped for a moment and noted all the visitors out my kitchen window— a cabbage white butterfly flitting around, a finch dropping by the water fountain for a quick drink, dragonflies swooping about or finding a tall stick to perch on, and lots of bees and other pollinators browsing the flowers. It was a busy, popular scene! And it reminded me that when I’m feeling discouraged and battered and insignificant from all the heavy news of the world, there are creatures great and small who find this little oasis of food, drink, and shelter outside my kitchen window a safe, inviting, welcoming place to visit. And that makes things a little better in this moment… 🌻☮️</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/RandomThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RandomThoughts</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/mindfulness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mindfulness</span></a></p>
