Day 49
"To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature. Most persons do not see the sun. At least they have a very superficial seeing. The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child. The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood. His intercourse with heaven and earth becomes part of his daily food. In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thankful for trees. Thankful for acorns. Thankful for time spent outside with the people I love. Thankful for the feeling of the warm sun with a cool breeze. Thankful for cookies. Thankful for a delicious dinner prepared by my parents. Thankful for the way the leaves glow when the sun hits them just right. Thankful for the sound the leaves make when the wind blows through them. Thankful for nature. Thankful for walks. Thankful for time spent with my favorite people.
