Success Shows Appreciation

This isn't hte first tiem we've talked about gratitude in this forum, but I've got a different angle for you this time.

When is the last time you stopped and took a few minutes to appreciate nature?

Abundance and beauty are all around us - and it never ceases to amaze me. My latest favorite is the moon. Every night, in the middle of the night, I can see the moon smiling down at me through my bedroom window. It's amazing how bright the moon is here in Colorado. Why is that?

Are we closer to the moon becasue of altitude? Is it because the trees are shorter than the houses where we live? Is it becuase there are no signs and billboards, blocking out the magestic moon? Who knows. Who cares, I just love it.

The moonlight is so bright here, you could literally read by it. I am not exaggerating.

So maybe where you live, the moon is not as lovely. But maybe you have stunning waterfalls. Or shimmering lakes. Or towering trees. Or magical mountains. Or lush green valleys. Or sparkling snow. Or sultry bayous. Or scenic byways.

The point is not what you have or don't have, the point is to be able to see the beauty in whatever you see.

Success always takes time to stop and appreciate the environment, nature, and all the blessings that surround us.

Your question of hte day:
What can you appreciate right now, today? Will you take a few minutes today to thank the Universe for sending such abundant gifts, and focus on a feeling of gratitude?
