When you open your eyes, are you grateful? Do you give thanks for the opportunity to see what you see? Do you make it a point to see everything for what it is and everyone for who they are?

We can be so easily distracted by our "busy" lives. We can become numb to the familiarity of our surroundings. We can give the past our attention and ignore the present. We can blind ourselves with expectations and miss the moment.

But when you choose to see. When you choose to be grateful for what you see. Life comes alive.
