365 Reasons to Smile – Day 31
During the summer, I do most of my bike riding in the early morning hours as the sun is ascending into the sky.
Because of that, there are times when the areas I pass through are still fairly dark.
The corn fields look like a jumble of unorganized stalks in which I could easily be lost.
And the groves of trees looks unwelcoming.
And then I ride a little farther or a little higher and everything looks different.
Instead of seeing crowded stalks of corn, I see a field neat and well-organized rows.
And instead of seeing the sun barely peeking through the trees, I see rays of sunshine warming the woods and warming my thoughts.
These tiny changes in perspective reflect the importance of perspective in our lives as well.
When we change our perspective, we often get a better understanding of how, life is basically really, really good.
Just knowing that always makes me smile.
