When I was working, I never had time to appreciate the things around me - either too tired, or no interest; But like you say - look up and give thanks now and then even when you think you don't have the time - Now that I am retired, I see beauty in things I never thought i'd ever seen any beauty in - my animals are my enjoyment when I'm not near my grandkids and family - my flowers are the beauty of what God has put on this earth for us to enjoy - look around - it's here to be loved and appreciated at ALL times! Give thanks! He has given us all things - let's love them and enjoy them!
