Shine On.... Just a Thought

It's so easy in this day and age to lose the light that has the ability to shine so bright inside of us. I know from personal experience just how easy it is to get caught up in all of the "what ifs" and the "should haves" of the world. We lose sight of all the amazing things that are right in front of us. Why do we let all of the negative things that  could happen get in the way of the amazing things that are happening?

If we step back, and take a look at all of the beauty that surrounds us.... take a look at all of the smiles that are sent our way... take a look at the flowers blooming... if we just took a few minutes out of each day to realize just how much life we have left to live, I think we would stop looking at all of the life that we are "losing out on". We might start to see all of the blessings that we gain each day.
