EVERY day is TRULY a gift. Life gets so busy we all forget to stop and smell the sunshine. Sometimes we're forced to slow down due to health reasons, tragedies, unexpected events, etc. Sometimes hours, days, weeks, go so fast it's hard to fit in the simple pleasures in life. Hard, but note, NOT impossible.
Take this time, this minute, to count your blessings, give a hug, help a person out in need, or simply just listen to the stillness and blessing of life. Click HERE to read Michael Hyatt's blog post on four ways you can transform today, taking it from ordinary to extraordinary. And a really profound video narrated by a monk.
