Your newsletter is such great inspiration! I have a huge tree in my back yard. I never take the time to enjoy the tree; instead I was always complaining how messy the tree makes my yard. I used to complain every day to my husband to “GET THAT tree cut DOWN!”

It was not until I read your newsletter that I finally took the time to see the beauty of nature at work. Not only is MY tree a home to birds and squirrels, it also gives me such pleasure sitting in its shade. Life truly is precious and we should take a little time out of our busy schedule to appreciate it. Thanks for giving me that! Annemarie

I have to remind myself to take notice and appreciate the little things. I’m writing this newsletter as much for me as for you (which is the case for most letters I write). Sometimes my world gets so busy I don’t stop to recognize one beautiful or interesting thing about the day. It’s like I wake up on auto pilot until I go to bed that night. So, open your eyes and I will too. We have the rest of the day to notice that new rose budding, ducks landing in the pond, or that a certain tree in our yard is the perfect place to rest in the shade. Just a thought.
