Appreciation

Standard

So, it’s Sunday and the day has been relaxing and peaceful. Colorado finally saw a little rain and a little snow and it helped the dry, dry earth. The picture below was from a week ago while I was poolside and within a week’s time it’s rained, snowed and hit record highs for this time of year. I was warned before moving here that it’s just “Colorado weather” – it changes on a dime and that’s kind of what I love about it. Every day is a picture. For those of you who may not believe there’s an intelligence behind the design of the world, boy did we luck out with one hell of a coincidence then, because for all the right pieces to fall into place at just the right moment to create such exquisite beauty, if not divinely arranged, feels pretty magical to me.

What is the deep thought for today then? I guess it’s simply this – appreciate the world around you. Appreciate the small things, the big things, the things that irritate you and delight you. Time on this planet is so precious and so limited and none of us know when our time will be up. I’ve suffered many losses in my life at a very early age and so I think I’ve always been very connected to realizing just how special life is. Tell those you care for you love them and forgive those you don’t and just try to be present in the moment of life. The past is behind us, the future before and what is happening in the present is always a gift, whether you can see it now or not. Have a wonderful Sunday and I wish you all the best for the week ahead. Take Monday on with a smile :)
