Sometimes when you get used to the same surroundings, you forget to appreciate what you have. When I first moved to Florida, I was constantly in awe with how beautiful it was...the palm trees, beautiful beaches, sunny days and green as far as the eye can see. Now that I've lived here for 5 years, I have forgotten how beautiful this place can be. I've become so used to seeing palm trees, sand and green grass that I have come to take it for granted.
Today, I got out of work early and really enjoyed my scenery on my home. The skies are blue, the sun is shining and everything is green and growing. So beautiful. I have lovely flowers of all colors on my patio, a tomato plant happily producing my favorite veggie, and a dog who loves to run outside and "chill" in the sun. The little things we take for granted are still so beautiful and precious every day we are here on earth. Sometimes all one needs to do is slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy. I live in my own little slice of paradise here.
P.S. I never get tired of looking out at the ocean. As an avid water bug, I love everything about the water and I could stare at the water and listen to the waves for hours on end. Awww....love it.
