  1. Great reminder. I went rushing through too many years of my life...am seeing better these days, but still too many times/days where I am not seeing the full glory of life.

    Thanks for the reminder to "catch" the miracles.

  2. I appreciate your honesty, Dave. We can overlook so many special moments when we're pre-occupied with either the past or the future. When I start the day with a focus on gratitude and appreciation, I find that I'm more attentive to the miracles that present themselves throughout the day.
