IT IS SO EASY
to appreciate the beauty that surrounds you, the family and friends that surround you and the love that surrounds you, when you are somewhere they arent. this is all because you miss it. but when you are somewhere so beautiful and serene, you have an unalotted amount of time to take in everything that you have to appreciate. i think that is why i was put in such a beautiful place for this holiday, this week. i think the world was trying to show me how lucky i am and how gracious i should be, for everything. i mean, EVERYTHING. riding down the shore, with treaded tires picking up as much sand as possible in its smooth and perfect grooves, wind blowing on your face and through every lock of hair on your head, children laughing with their families and building castles, splashing water, surfing… or trying to, searching for that tiny little shell that you will keep until you have kids, discovery new birds as they circle your head… its almost as if it was out of a story book. but it wasnt. it was my day today, every second more enticing than the next. i wish that everyone could have a day like this, so that they could understand how much they should appreciate and grasp every moment of their lives and make them beautiful memories and tokens of awareness, for everything that we are given.
i can only hope, that when i jump back on that plane, and head back home, to a place where i never stop…. i can still take a step back every so often and be thankful, so very thankful. to everyone in my life that i love, i just pray you know how much i love you, each and everyone in my life has a piece of my heart, each a seperate treasure i will never forget. i love you.
Happy Thanksgiving! May you be gracious and loving <3
