I just watched a video that was outstanding, and it made me stop and think, "When is the last time I stood in awe of something?"  How about you?  With our fast paced hyper-connected world, it is so easy to miss the amazing while moving along with rote routine.

While driving to the office last week I saw a hawk sitting on top of a fence post.  I knew he was on the hunt.  He totally ignored me because something in brush caught his eye and he was focused.  I'm sure if I had made a move in his direction he would have taken flight, but for that moment, the world stood still and he concentrated on his prey.  I was fascinated watching him.

We accomplish great things when we allow the world to slip away while we gaze into dreams that become our passion and then reality.  Without those components, life can easily become a blur and before you know it you're looking back wondering where it went.  The dreams of youth become memories lost and hopes unfilled, and even though life may have turned out well that sense of wonder that small children have when they look into the sky is soon forgotten.

Enjoy the video and awaken your sense of wonder.  You're never too old.

Mike this young man is amazing - I was totally 'awed' the first time I saw him. Wow!  And you are so right....we're all so busy doing this and doing that and we forget the 'awe' moments.  I for one am focused on being more aware of 'awe' moments this year.....one of my goals.  Little 'vacations' during the day is how I see them.  So blessed!

Janis, I'm not a big opera fan, but I was very impressed with his (their) talent.  I'd love to see both teens go on to something big.

Mike, I look at my girls in awe every day! Time is so precious and it just blows my mind how fast they are growing up. I keep asking them to stop growing but they wont listen to me ...

It's a classic reminder to stop and smell the roses .. And the video, well.. let me sum it up in one word: gooseys! (I might also have yelled In your face Simon)

Kids are funny like that, aren't they.  I look at my boys today (both taller than me) and I just marvel.  They are men all of sudden, and they were just kids yesterday.  I love to see great results like the video.  It doesn't matter if those kids win there or not.  They will go on and succeed.

Mike- this is such a good reminder of taking the "time to smell the roses."  We have little warblers now  but you'll miss them if you don't stop and take the time to see them in the trees.  They're so small and cautious of "us" that you truly have to stop and stand still before they give you the opportunity to see them.

Kathy, that's a great analogy about truly seeing the beauty that is all around us.  That would make a great blog.  Hint, hint.  8-)
