This week I spent some time driving on a road trip about 10 hours. I drove to Salt Lake City Utah from southern CA. The drive was completely amazing and because I was not feeling in a hurry or rushed I took time to appreciate the beauty all around me and I realized that often we forget to do this and we spend our lives in such a frenzy that we completely miss out on the beauty that surrounds us.
I have heard it said that people that are grateful are happier and healthier. I believe this to be to. When we stop and enjoy the view and become grateful of what we have be given. So what can we do to appreciate? Be mindful of your surroundings because you never know when you will have the opportunity to see something of beauty. A note though, while I was driving I was surrounded by beauty and I wanted to capture it all on my camera but I couldn’t so I just had to enjoy the view.
So where do you have opportunities to see and appreciate beauty? Take some time to stop and enjoy the view. Or in other words stop and smell the roses! Let me know what you see 🙂
