Another Friday is here. It’s been crazy busy for me this week. Actually, it has been like this for a while now. You won’t get any complaints from me about it. I just seem to find myself wondering where the time has gone. My mother tells me that it’s a sign of age when your days go by so fast you don’t see them go.

I think there must be a storm coming because the sky is a darker gray and looks so dreary and the birds are all unusually quiet. There aren’t even any squirrels playing in the yard this morning.

I love storms. I love the way they sound; the drum beat of the thunder, the dance steps of the rain drops and the wind. No choreographer on earth could come up with a more amazing performance. I love to watch the way the rain and wind work together in the crazy ballet they do; lightning in the background to give them a spotlight to dance in.

Watching…what a blessing to be able to see these things; I would so hate to miss out of seeing these dances.

We all take things for granted. We don’t know that our senses can be taken away in a split second or even over time. When you go from seeing brilliant colors and bright beautiful things to seeing life through a strange haze it’s very scary.

Take the time to enjoy your senses. Look at the world around you. Listen to life! Don’t let the moments get away from you without taking in everything that you can!

No matter how hard you work. There are things you won’t find in that paycheck. There are moments that will never come again so savor each delicious flavor God has presented. Take the storms, the animals, and the absolute beauty of God’s blessings as a great gift to be opened and enjoyed every single day. Don’t waste any of it. If you take the time to look and listen now you will always have the pictures in your memory if something does happen.

See you soon!
