Appreciating The Blessings We Have

How long can you keep going at the pace you've set for yourself? You're running around trying to meet your deadlines, making sure that you're not missing anything. But after a long day and it's time to put your feet up, how much of the day did you enjoy? What about it that made you smile and laugh? You're tired and can't really remember what the day was about. With the holidays in gear, you can't move fast enough. But what are you accomplishing, except running yourself to the ground. It's time to sit down for awhile and take a breathe. Enjoy the hustle and bustle around you, appreciate the blessings that you have and be grateful for every day that you are here with your loved ones.
Look at all the wonders that surround you...

(I am learning how much more I appreciate life, when someone I care for is ill. It's funny how busy we think we are until something happens. It's a time when family comes together, dropping everything. I was scheduled to be with my family next week for the holidays. But finding out that my father was suddenly ill, I find myself flying out this week. In life, there are no plans just being where we need to be. It's good to be reminded every once and awhile as to what is priority. Life is so precious.)
