If you read my last post, you learned that I fractured the L1 vertebrae in my back at the end of March. I’ve been recuperating quite well but I’m still not able to be as active as I could be normally. This post is a simple reminder to myself and others, even when physically limited we can still keep moving forward, still growing, still becoming more complete individuals.
This evening, as I sat at our fire pit, I noticed the sun created a diagonal line in the tree shapes at the opposite side of our neighbor’s yard. I thought it was interesting. Can you tell I’m working on developing my sense of observation and creative vision for my photography?
This may not be a big deal for you. But it was a moment that was special to me. I realized, in that moment, I am scraping the surface of learning to take the time to really appreciate the simple things in life. Something as simple as the way several trees line up and the sun casts its light on them can be an interesting sight that is here one minute and gone the next. Our days are filled with these moments. How many do we see? How many more do we miss? How many are pushed aside, overshadowed by things we allow to consume us? Life is a gift that is too easily taken for granted.
