Sometimes we are just blind. Blind from the blessings and the love we have in our lives. It’s just a shame that by the time we recognize it, they’re all gone.

From Khalil Gibran’s The Prophet:

When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer
in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is
clearer from the plain.

What if it isn’t just your friend? What if you didn’t part form your friend, but instead took him/her for granted?

I don’t wanna grow old - sitting in my rocking chair - thinking that I should have appreciatedmore the ones I love. That I should been more showy and demonstrative of my affections. That I should have given due credit when credit was due. That I have been more appreciative of everything and everyone else around me.

Is your level of contentment too high? Have you told somebody today that you appreciate him? Have you hugged somebody today, just because? DO. Before it ever gets too late. ;-)

Appreciate all your blessings - big or small - and more of it will come down pouring on you.
