Spoonful of positive: Awesome

We often miss what's is right in front of us. As I walked my dog this morning, the sunrise was awesome! I looked around, some people were still inside of their homes, others were busy going off in their cars.
I have always had a special connection with nature. Growing up, it's where I played, my imagination came alive, I felt more at home there. There was a sense of freedom.
I am grateful for that part of my childhood. All of those feelings come back when I am outdoors.
No matter where you live, take time to find beauty around you.
Take the time to see the awesome beauty that nature gives us.
