The Things I Appreciate. Stop, Look, Listen

I want you to stop, look , and listen around you and enjoy. Use either your outer vision or your inner vision and explore. Listen to the wind, listen to the rain, listen to sound of a child's voice, or listen to the things you say drive you playfully insane. Look at a hummingbird, how challenging its life is, but how simple it makes it look. Stop look and listen to the moving water in a creek. Stop and observe the gentleness of water as it trickles with speed, look at the power as it pushes small things out of it way. Listen as it changes its's sound and gurgles as it swirls and fills it way into small spaces and creates tiny pools. Use your inner ear and appreciate the sound of the your heart beat. Stop, look and listen to the things around you.
I'm going to list a few of the things I appreciate daily. Far all those who read this blog, send me a list things you appreciate. Regardless of how simple those things are.
