I have lived in the Valley of the Sun for 15 years now and have on most days had a view of the McDowell Mountains and Tom’s Thumb if I chose to look that direction. (For those of you not familiar with mountains in the Phoenix area, Tom's Thumb is a large, granite rock formation near the top of the McDowell Mountains in Scottsdale, Arizona. As you might imagine, it looks like a thumb poking out of the mountains and is visible from quite a distance.) I have even hiked to see Tom’s Thumb up close a few times. Until yesterday, when I casually ended my blog with “Tom's Thumb giving the whole day a 'thumb’s up',” I had never thought about it as a positive sign or encouragement. You can bet that I will from now on. It drew my eye again this morning.
It’s a great reminder for me that inspiration, motivation, or whatever I am looking for is available at any time if I am willing to open my eyes, my heart, and my mind to finding it.
