Earth Day
/It’s so easy to get caught up in our day-to-day activities and what’s coming up next that we often forget to stop and take a moment to just appreciate everything around us. This Earth is beautiful and the nature it produces is absolutely stunning.
When I see something beautiful in nature, I do my best to take a moment to stop, soak it in, and snap a picture. Below are a few of those snapshots from my camera roll. For each one, I can remember where I was and what I was heading off to do — heading into work, grabbing pizza with new friends, running into PetSmart to buy Keiko some food, riding home after a storm, relaxing on a boat, etc.
Looking back on these snapshots in this way, reminds me to continue to take the time to dwell in nature, to not rush so much, and to always keep in mind that we share this Earth with fellow humans, wild creatures, beautiful plants, and organisms so tiny that we can’t even see them.
If you haven’t taken a moment to appreciate your planet today or do something nice for Mother Earth today, I hope you’ve been inspired to do so! But if my words and pictures aren’t enough, maybe some of these links will be:

I know it’s the end of the day in this time zone, but let’s be real… Earth Day is every day. Let’s remember to respect this planet, take care of it, and admire it.
