Earlier today I was watching Lily and Luke swim, watching them dive under the water and thinking about all the miracles of life!! Isn't it incredible that they spend 9 whole months 'under water' during a pregnancy and once born and begin breathing air, can NEVER go back to being submerged again!!
That thought really made me think how incredible we are as human beings, in that one moment of transition things will never be the same again! And how many different transitions and glorious moments that we go through on a daily basis and never give a second thought to. We transition from sleeping to waking and just expect this will happen every day. Our heart beats and we don't give it a second thought. We breathe and don't have to wonder about the next breath, it just happens all by itself.
If we can appreciate the miracles of life, doesn't that make each day an amazing unfolding. The people we speak with and the stories they share, the intricacies of a flower, the grace of a dragon-fly or the smallest details of a spiders web!! If we allow ourselves to take those precious moments and pause to really appreciate them, how wonderful is life?!!
Man, I love waking up breathing everyday!! And oh how I love to pause and allow myself the pleasure of seeing my life through fresh eyes and feel the deep gratitude for my many blessings!!
