How often, in failing to be truly present to life, do we fail to see the countless, incredible miracles everywhere around us? Are we ever able to discern the extraordinary in the ordinary, for it is always there? Just last weekend Kim and I pushed ourselves to get out of bed extra early to watch the sunrise from our back deck, something we ordinarily sleep through. So quiet, so peaceful, the amazing sun slowly rising as it does each and every day. What an absolutely beautiful morning Kim and I shared together. How often do we just pause to reflect on the magnificence of this occurrence and be grateful for the life it provides us all? Sometimes its not easy to make conscious choices like this, especially when it means getting our butts out of bed early. HA! How often do we take these simple things in life for granted?
