I find my greatest pleasure in the real everyday things that most people are to busy to see.
The sunrise on my way to work
watching bathing birds
turkeys taking dust baths in the drive way and going to roost in the trees at night
someone holding a child's hand in a gentle, unrushed way
the first spring peepers and poly wogs
friends visiting and doing nothing together
any rescued animal
You may or may not see the awesome in these simple daily things. There are many more I could list. I wake up grateful for a new day and am grateful at the end for having had it. And yes, these things do bring a lump to my throat.
