It’s nice to see the weather finally starting to warm up. But this is Colorado so we could have 6 inches of snow and be back in the teens in four weeks. This past weekend was nice for us out here in Colorado. I took a walk at the Environmental Learning Center on Saturday and the Arapahoe Bend Nature Area on Sunday. Both areas were pretty muddy and that means things will be greening up before we know it.
During my walk I realized how I have taken my vision for granted. By vision I’m referring to the ability to see. A blind person must see with other senses. I also see in color that others do not. The older I get the more aware I am of those things around me, being present to the moment. At this time in my life my mind is not tied up with family worries or a project schedules at work. So, there is gratitude in just seeing. And, I like what I see.

As we remove the clutter from our lives and minds it leaves more room for things of importance doesn’t it, Monte? Bonnie and I were discussing recently how our outlook and even our conversations have changed since we have the luxury of not have to deal with day-to-day drama.
Lovely, peaceful photos. Have a great weekend!

I like where you and Bonnie are in life. I’m truly enjoying reading about this adventure and how you are affected by all of it. Enjoy!

Those times where you just stop and stand where you are taking in everything around you are always breathtaking.
When you look around, no matter where you are, and just think to yourself, “This is beautiful.”
That’s what we live for…
