Have you ever done something that you thought would take a long time but you got so caught up in the moments that it actually went by fast?
I took a 5 mile bike ride this morning and it was amazing. The sun was rising, the birds were singing loudly, and not a single car, person or animal stirred. It was so surreal.
As soon as I left my driveway I took a few deep breaths and the air smelled as fresh as anything I could think of. I got to the top of a small hill and I began to think about the blessings in my life. I recounted the many trips I’ve taken, the people I’ve gotten to know, the fresh air that I breath every day and for family and friends who have come and gone. Every blessing I could think of led me to another one as each pedal rotation gave way to another, and before I knew it I had gone five miles in a very short time.
I feel on top of the world as I write this post. It’s the kind of thing that happens when you begin your day feeling grateful rather than ungrateful and cursing everyone or everything around you. In grateful attitudes there is no blame, no gossip, no worries, just you and a heart filled with joy.
Something happens in those moments…the only way to describe it is like a peace that the world cannot give. I know which I’d rather have every day, what about you?

in your section above where you write, ‘…I feel on top of the world as i write this post…’ You state that it’s one of two ways: We either wake up greateful….or we wake up ungreatful cursing everything and everyone around us…does it always have to be these extremes? Is it possible to wake up and just “be”? It seems like a pretty harsh extreme…

You bring up a very good point. What is true for me doesn’t have to be true for you. We can look at life as gray, rather than black or white, riding the fence instead of standing for something or against something, luke warm instead of hot or cold. We all have the power to choose. You might feel its being content to just ‘be’ and that is right for you. Its in our power to choose that we find what we’re looking for. I really appreciated your thoughts.
