Although I am frequently a skeptic, I do have a lighter side. Here are some of my thoughts this morning.


Have you ever noticed:


How the sun sparkles and dances across a pond in the early morning light.

How beautiful a sunrise truly is. How it always seems to bring new hope to every living thing.

How breathtaking and magnificent a mountain range is, or how it can make you seem so small in the universe.

How we never see the beauty that surrounds us. We always want to go someplace spectacular, but we can’t wait to get back home.

How a small child’s uninhibited laughter can bring such joy, even when you’re filled with sorrow.

How the nearness of those you love seems to enhance the pleasures of life, or how their closeness can even help restore you physically, spiritually, emotionally, and morally.

I don't really know what brought that on this morning. Maybe it is my attempt at anti-cynicism.
