... the time is now

I have been reading a book that makes the observation at how children look at things like a flower and sense its beauty, but as they become adults, they can walk thru their backyard with flowers abound and not even pay attention to them.  This reminds me everyday to not take the "normal" things around me for granted but to observe like I did as a child.  It is also good advise to do the same when it comes to the persons in your family or maybe your friends.  Always see them  as a sense of joy, because life is fleeting and the time to feel the joy is now.
