I've been sharing here various views from our little part of the country over time. Here's another one.
This morning I went out to feed the critters, and ask I stepped to the back door and looked out, I saw the sun just coming up. It was so beautiful that I ran back and got my camera, went out and took a couple of shots, and then just stood and watched. Even though this is a relatively common view from our window, it still makes me pause and consider the beauty that's all around us every day if we just take time to stop and look at it.
I recently passed my 58th birthday and had, for some reason, an intimation of my own mortality. I looked at the years that were possibly left to me and decided that I couldn't afford not to make the most of them. And that doesn't mean seeing how much money I can pile up in accounts (though I love my job and getting paid is definitely a Good Thing). It means paying attention to the world around me, because I suddenly realized that I don't have forever to do those things.
It can be something as simple as this sunrise, something that happens every day without our input or notice. If you can see the sunrise from where you live, go out tomorrow morning and see what it looks like, will you?
