Not taking anything for granted

It is another beautiful day here in Marin. We are so lucky to live in such a luscious place . So often we take this for granted because it is an integral part of our lives. If you are taking this for granted I invite you to think about this notion- not to judge yourself - judging ourselves are always non-productive- but to view this place in maybe a new light.

Do you go out and take hikes here? When is the last time you noticed the trees, the birds, heard the birds overhead or maybe noticed any wind or sun against your face? Do you ever go out on a trail alone to ponder these things?
When I hike alone, with no conversation with another I find I can see more and hear more of this wonderful place. Sometimes being only with yourself is a great way to appreciate all that you have. Even if you are having a difficult time.
