- What a wonderful thing: “The Vending Machine that Spits out Short Stories.” As described by Laura Holson at The New York Times, “when a button is pushed, a short story is printed, unfurled on a long strip of paper.” Kristan Leroy at Short Edition, the company that developed the concept, says, “The idea is to make people happy.”
- Something to consider:
“The best way to take care of the future is to take care of the present moment.”
—Thích Nhất Hạnh - For National Geographic’s “The Trip the Changed My Life” series, George Stone, Editor in Chief of National Geographic Traveler, chose this photograph for its “joy. The sheer delight of discovering something new far away, of letting go and embracing a new place.”

What a beautiful photo! It reminds me of our adventures with our back-yard swings. There can be such beauty incorporated into little things like that. <3
