Feeling rather thankful today …
How cool is that to be able to go for a walk every morning with my dog. To be able to walk!
How cool is that to be able to hear the spirit-lifing cry of the hawk, daily, and the comforting sounds of a Mourning Dove’s coo on the same walk? To be able to hear.
How cool is that to be able to see the sunlight scatter and form a rainbow in the mist of a sprinkler, to see a hawk spread its wings and take flight, to see the sun rise most every morning? To be able to see!
How cool is that to be able to smell the ozone in the air after a thunderstorm has passed, or the musk of a skunk long passed? To be able to smell!
How cool is that to be able to taste the sweet goodness of a grape, or perhaps a bowl of cold watermelon after a long walk. To be able to taste!
How cool is that to be able to feel the sweat trickle off my head, down the back of neck, and down to my lower back. To be able to feel!
A huge feeling of gratitude befell me this morning and I just thought that I’d share those thoughts. In part, I have to thank Monte for his daily shots of things we often see, but choose to ignore, or perhaps don’t see at all. I really like his photography and where he’s coming from. It makes me stop and look at my own or helps me to appreciate other things.

Way cool, Paul, and wonderfully matching your image. Thanks for a reminder not just to take for granted what’s offered to us every day, but to stop for a moment to recognize and enjoy it.
Hear, hear!
I agree 1000%!!
Thanks Cuz’n. That was a perfect post.
Way to go Paul, you have a great list of gratitudes. I can relate to them even when I pass over them. And, just as you know, when we walk in nature we open ourselves to all it’s gifts. By the way are you available on the 2nd of August?
Just outstanding!
