Quote of the day:
To be content, just think how happy you would be if you lost everything you have right now, and then got it back again! – Author Unknown
Consider:
How often are you thankful for things you take for granted, such as your eye sight?
It reminds me of a story about a group of visitors at a summer resort who had watched the sunset from the gallery of the hotel. An overweight, unromantic-looking man had lingered until the last glow faded, and had seemed thrilled through and through by the beauty of it all.
One guest, more observant than the rest, wondered about this, and so at supper she said to this man, who sat next to her, "You certainly did enjoy that sunset, Mr. B., are you an artist?"
"No, Madam, I'm a plumber," he responded with a slow grin, "but I was blind for five years."
Sometimes when you are feeling jaded or blasé, you can revive your sense of wonder by merely saying to yourself: Suppose this were the only time. Suppose this sunset, this moonrise, this symphony, this buttered toast, this sleeping child...suppose I would never experience these things again!
Few things are commonplace in themselves. It's our reaction to them that grows dull. Take time to keep the wonder in your life.
Wishing you all the best,
Coach Dana
