Working in winter weather can take its toll on one's body. Four days of logging in the snow followed by four days of being sick. On the bright side though, this week was absolutely wonderful!
The sun came out to play Friday beginning with a sunrise of spectacular colors. The high clouds that floated by during the day were beautiful. Snow covered hills could be seen to the north and east of our work site. The day passed quickly and the quitting whistle put a smile on all our faces.
This is the first time I have had the energy to write anything. I guess it must be the sunshine and that crazy bunch of guys I work with that has brought out the writer in me. My job as chaser on the landing gives me much time to ponder the things that we sometimes take for granted.
Sometimes the simplest of things can bring the greatest pleasure. Appreciation for all that we are given in this life is a reward in itself. A sunrise or sunset, a view from a mountain top, or perhaps a small object that catches our eye such as a flower or an odd shaped piece of wood or stone. Pleasure is where you find it and it does not have to come with a price tag.
Look around and let your senses find the simple pleasures of life. The smell of coffee in the early morning or bacon cooking on the stove. Step outside and feel the cool morning air and breath in through your nose sampling the air for a pleasent odor. Taste your food when you eat, don't gulp it down just because you "don't have time". Yes you do and saying you don't is just an excuse.
Have a wonderful day and please, take a moment to enjoy the simple things around you. Open your eyes, mind and heart and you will find joy all around you. God bless you and may your prayers be answered.
