Choosing to See Moments of Beauty

Found beauty at moments when at the airport picking up a fellow aid worker that will take my place. The plane arrived at the gate carrying new arrivals into Port Au Prince and passengers starting coming in through the doors. They were all wearing identification for various NGO organizations and private companies. A couple insurance adjusters… but mostly, you can tell they are here to help in a humanitarian effort. You can see the anxiety and determination and excitement in their eyes. I was so thankful to them.

Then the pilot came down with two huge bags in each arm. He went up to the gate agent and explained that he brought all the candy he could so that she could pass it out to children waiting at the airport. He was so proud and wanted to do anything he could.



I feel like I’ve been here for two months even though it has been such a short time. The things you would see in a 24 hour time frame would be enough to fit into a normal week.

It’s the beauty that you choose to find in small moments throughout each day, the moments you hang on to keep you going till you find another.
