I showed the above picture to my husband and he said we get to see this everyday.  He also said he doesn’t take it for granted and voila, a title is born!

Winter is good time for reflecting especially this one. I have truly learned not to appreciate the snow this winter though it can look beautiful when it has just fallen.  It has also been freeze your ass off cold here.  Both me and the dog are gaining weight from lack of walks.  If you are someone that has fitness goals, this can be a very frustrating time unless you learn to work it out at home.

I moved to a place so amazing that I never want to leave.  I wanted to live in this little mystic town though it can be very pricey and there are not many rentals.  The first place I looked at, I could see the water from the sidewalk outside and I thought that was amazing.  This second place, I could see the water from the bathroom window and thought that was pretty cool too.  The last place we looked at is the view you see above.  Which shows you how good things can get  if you take action and let go at the same time.  Trusting that the best is in store for you and also trusting your feelings.  If I had taken one of those other apartments, then we wouldn’t have this one.

But alas, it is a rental which really brings up my feeling over the impermanence of life and why every moment now is precious. 

Even in winter, it is this beautiful.  This is the first time I ever saw this harbor completely frozen.

Appreciating the now. This place does that for me.

Taking nothing for granted.  This is something I must consciously do.
