My wife and I live in an apartment complex that is teeming with wildlife... We live right next to a pond that is the watering hole for dozens of ducks and geese (even the occasional great blue heron)... It's late right now, so we can hear the bullfrog in the stream that connects ponds... Amazing!!
The other morning, while Jen was making breakfast for our staff meeting, I took some bread crusts out to feed the ducks... It was a blast! I felt like a kid again... There's just something about feeding ducks that makes me happy... I kept coming in to get more bread, I can't believe they kept eating it all...
Anyway, I came back in the apartment... It was around 8AM and I looked at Jen and said, "That was great! I had fun today!!" I know, I know - cheesy... But it struck me that we need to recognize those brilliant moments in life for what they are... I was allowed to experience joy and fun today... That kind of blessing deserves thanksgiving...
