Appreciating the moment for what it is

Something that I have been working on is appreciating the moment for what it is... On Sunday afternoon I was laying in bed and all of a sudden I got a deep appreciation for the moment. I was listening to the Dave Matthews Live at Radio City album and looking out the window.

The wind was caressing the palm fronds which then made a gentle brushing noise against my window. The subtle wind also created ripples in the lake; they were at a consistent flow with such an inconsistent pattern. The sun was hitting the lake at the perfect angle; it was glistening in the most beautiful way. Listening to the strings of a guitar and watching the blades of my fan spin; I couldn't have asked for a more perfect little Sunday afternoon.

I took a deep breath and appreciated that breath.

I closed my eyes and appreciated the live jam session from DMB.

I glanced out the window and appreciated the snap shot of scenery outside that I take for granted every day by not seeing its true beauty.
