The Gift Of Life

Many of us go through life thinking that there are those who are blessed and are born under a lucky star. It seems as if everything they desire is handed to them without struggle. Their life path seems paved without the large boulders that sometimes block our way. How would it feel to journey through life with such ease? Although it may seem that there are only a few who have stars to light their way, if we were to look up in the sky we would see that we all live under the same sky. We are so busy looking at others and how they live that we forget that we were all blessed with the same gift when we were born. We were all given the gift of life and are lucky to have the opportunity every day to make our lives better. Today, do something special for yourself. Celebrate how lucky you are to have the opportunity every day to journey on your path and experience life. You are definately born under a lucky star!

 Sometimes when the light shines on us just right, our beauty is revealed...

(This plant doesn't seem to be so special. In fact, I would have walked right by it. But when I turned to look at a beautiful protea, the clouds opened up and the sun shined upon this plant. Under the sunlight, the leaves glow. It's was like I was looking at a different plant. It was spectacular. And to think I could have missed how special it was.)
