I just watched an episode of Touched By An Angel and it made me think. People are portrayed as enjoying the simple things in life before they die. They take time to enjoy every little thing around them and in some cases it seems asthough they are seeing these things for the first time, despite the fact they are always around. Then I thought about people I have known that passed on or were extremely ill and realized that they too had this happen to them. They began to notice the world around them and that there are simple pleasures and beauties everywhere. Even during the toughest times there are things there that if you stopped long enough could bring a smile to your face.
People always laugh at me and say I'm corny and I guess in some ways I am. I love the simple things in life and I admit that sometimes I don't take as much time as I should. My mind gets fogged because of everything I see on the news and such, I just see negative images .... when I should be looking deeper. I just wish that everyone could stop and look around.
