“Do you see it? Do you see what a special, precious opportunity each day of your life is?
Look more closely…
You can feel. You can touch. You can agonize in despair and giggle with glee. You can make jokes. You can cry at movies. You can weep in bed at night. Then get up the next day, refreshed.
You can taste an orange, a lemon, a mango—and describe in detail the difference in each of those tastes. You can smell a forest of pine trees. You can hold your friend’s hand and feel how he trembles because he’s afraid.
You can stumble and fall and feel abandoned, then get up and suddenly, in one moment, understand that lesson you’ve been trying to learn. You can jump out of airplanes, feel the smoothness of your lover’s back, and hold your child to your breast…
…help me to use this opportunity, this life that I have been given to the best of my ability every day.”
Yes. Yes. Yes.

A nice gentle reminder…..
It is…
Words are amazing, but perhaps they may be superfluous to that arresting face and straight up stare!
🙂 Agree!
and you can feel gratitude each day for all of the endless possibilities of each moment
Yes…
yes I see it–but I want to see it more clearly, feel it more deeply, taste it more…………you get my drift
Yes, me too LouAnn
