The Ability to Appreciate Nature

This morning, I am grateful for the ability to enjoy the simple things in life. In particular, I'm grateful for the ability to take a step back and appreciate what's all around us—nature. Yesterday, as my wife and I drove home from our day trip, we were presented with an incredible sunset in front of us (thankfully, we were driving west). Wispy clouds in gold, pink, and orange set against a striking, pure blue sky. It was really beautiful.

 It's nice to know that should we lose all of our computers, TVs, smartphones, iPods, and other distractions—if we lost everything—we would still be able to turn our heads to the sky and appreciate this amazing universe we live in.
