Thought of the Day

  If one could only learn to appreciate the little things...
  A song that takes you away, for there are those who cannot hear.
  The beauty of a sunset, for there are those who cannot see.
  The warmth and safety of your home, for there are those who are homeless.
  Time spent with good friends for there are those who are lonely.
  A walk along the beach for there are those who cannot walk.
  The little things are what life is all about.
  Search your soul and learn to appreciate.
   -- Shadi Souferian
