Another Day

All the talk has been about the end of the world - the zombie apocalypse - the burning comets - and yet here we are, still.  Another day has broken on the horizon and we are still here to see it.  But I find myself wondering.  What if it really had been the end of the world as we know it?  What if a cataclysmic event tumbled our world into a completely unfamiliar state?  How would you have responded?  How would I have responded?

We take so much of our surroundings for granted.  The beautiful sky - the strong and enduring evergreens - the people that live within our personal realms and we claim to love.  I challenge everyone who reads this, be it today or next year, to look around you.  What do you see?  Who can you touch? Take it all in - cloak yourself in the beauty and love.  And be grateful for what is in our world.  You never know when it will be gone.  Embrace it while you can.
