appreciating the little things, 8 of 365

the great outdoors - i was kind of struggling yesterday, through the fog of negativity and de-motivation (of others), to be open to appreciation. it was my last day in work of my first week back and it was not a great day, in fact it was a pretty crappy day. late afternoon, i was over at the photocopier and there it was - the sun was just starting to set and had illuminated everything in a wash of glowing embers. everything looked so beautiful, i'm lucky in that the office where i work is in a glorious location: one side of the building looks out onto a river and grassy hills; the other onto a craggy, tree lined hill. and the sun was lighting everything just perfectly. i was so glad that i was able to appreciate it all.
