The other day I went hiking with friends. The scenery was so breathtakingly beautiful that we often stopped just to look around and take everything in – Which in that moment, seemed like the most natural thing to do.

How often do we observe the scenery of our lives? Giving it the same attention we would the most beautiful sunrise. Recognizing the thoughts that have washed their way into our reality, or showing love to the things that we considered important enough to have in our presence.

Look around. Take it in. Pause to notice your greatest creation. You may find yourself consumed in gratitude for the things you have. You may find yourself consumed in gratitude for the things you want to change. The only way to know for sure, is to look around.
