Today I was walking downstairs from my office and I told myself, "really look at what you're seeing".
All over our house, where we have lived for over three decades, there are things that give me joy.
*pictures Bern created for me
*photos of grandchildren
*pictures of both our children't marriages (which I preformed!)
*nick-nacks that go back years
*furniture that has held me for decades
*Books I read and grew from years ago
*plates from places in West Virginia where we both grew up
*plants I don't know the names of but which Bern lovingly cultivates
*rugs from the past
*a bench from my childhood
I could go on and on and then go outside and tell you about the wonders of nature on our property, but I'll stop there.
Here's what to do: decide to take a stroll around your home or your neighborhood and actively appreciate what life gives you.
It's well worth a try....
