Take a Look Around...


You never know where you will find yourself...the world has truely become a crazy place and the days can really be tough. In all honestly we are a spec of dust in a universe of unfathomable size and mammoth time! So much so, that none of us can even comprehend it, some of us do try to understand...but by and large we rarely even stop to think of those facts.

We run around and worry about insignifigant things that etch frowny lines between our eyes, around our mouths...we are rude and insensitive, we scream in traffic, yell at our kids and judge others that we do not even know.


This cannot be right! Even if we pray, the solid connection that we may reverently feel as we utter the words is usually quickly terminated! Like snapping closed your cell phone at the end of the call; the signal is gone and we are off to the next "important" or frustrating thing.


Take a breath, give thanks, look around you! Understand that we are truely a miracle; in time and place, in spirit and potential...in the sheer amazement of the workings of our own minds and bodies. We are truely blessed and most of the time, we never even acknowledge that fact. Be thankful for all that you have in your life everyday...it is a gift!
