Sometimes we feel bad because we cannot afford all the things we need or want. Whether or not we have all we want, we can get lost in the quest for material possessions and the happiness we think they will bring.
These thoughts can carry us toward a narrow and cold view of life. But we can return to the spontaneous life that surrounds us. Squirrels still chase each other through the grass. Children still engage in fanciful conversations. The joy of music can still enrich our lives. We have our time together and our imagination. When we take the time to enjoy our connection and express our love, we discover riches of far greater value than material items.
Take this moment to look around you to notice the simple things that give you pleasure.

I worked late last night so I got to sleep in this morning. My sister showed up unexpectedly. Her son is playing a softball game in a nearby town.
We found a water moccason (sp) by the pond this morning. My youngest nephew loved it.
It's a beautiful autumn day with the sun shining. Had some rain last night so things have greened up a bit. Pretty windy but that just helps clear the cobwebs away.....lol
Neighbor mowing his lawn across the way.
Going to get my butt in gear, take a shower & watch my nephew play at his game this afternoon.
Then meeting & karaoke tonight!
It's all good...
Have a great day, guys.....so much to be thankful for!
