Thankful Thursday – Post 19

This past weekend the earth saw a ‘supermoon’ … that is, if people paused long enough from their daily routine and looked upwards.

SuperMoon - March 19, 2011 ... Janet Oberholtzer

This larger, fuller view of the moon happened because it was closer to earth than it’s been for eighteen years. And this made me one happy gal. I didn’t have a telescope, I only viewed it with my naked eye and this picture was taken with my phone. But stopping to appreciate it made me realize how pausing to appreciate other things in life … could make them fuller and more beautiful also.

That’s what Thankful Thursday is all about. Today I am thankful for:

  • Eyes to see
  • Living in this age with phones with cameras
  • Time to pause and appreciate the world around me
  • A chance to try again every morning or every moment
  • Meeting an 82-year young man in the park while running
  • Finding a new type of chiropractic care to help my sore neck/shoulder
  • Receiving three new books – Mile Markers. Love Wins. After Shocks.
  • Great blogs I read. Mason. Skye. Jamie. Elaine and Gary.

.

Is there things/people/events in your life that would be more beautiful if you paused and took a second to appreciate them?

    What a great reminder on a day when the sky is both so dark that it looks like coal and so sunny that I must squint. Thank you. Thank you.
