It’s all part of life, embrace it with joy

Appreciate everything!

Catching a sunrise by accident.

That first sip of coffee in the morning, or a cool drink of water on a hot afternoon.

The touch of a good woman.

Friendships that have lasted a lifetime.

The laughter of grandchildren.

A song that hits at that perfect moment.

All these things aren’t just filler moments… they are your life. So don’t postpone them thinking something bigger will come in the future, because they are the here and now, and tomorrow is yet to be known.

Don’t roll over for the ordinary and mundane. Embrace today. Charge in with courage and confidence with a thankful heart.

“If we would endeavor, like men of courage, to stand in the battle, surely we would feel the favorable assistance of God from Heaven. For he who giveth us occasion to fight, to the end we may get the victory, is ready to succor those that fight manfully, and do trust in his grace.”

Thomas à Kempis

One day you’ll miss this version of life more than you can imagine, so appreciate it while it’s here.

Drink it up.

Soak it all in.

Embrace it with joy.
