"I went for a run along the beach at sunset yesterday, foam kissing my
bare feet, smooth sand caressing my soles, and the sky exploding with
color. I paused for breath, mostly because the sky, and the pacific, had
borrowed my breath from me. I stopped and applauded. this is the only
response that life deserves: overjoyed applause. this morning, wherever
you are, whatever life has given you, take a moment to really appreciate
this gift, and applaud. I mean, actually applaud. then give back to
life, something, anything, to show your gratitude for this miracle
you’ve been given. do anything: be kind to someone, create something, be
gentle with your children, do something where your body feels full of
life. we often not only take life for granted, but complain about it. life isn’t perfect, work is boring, people are too rude, drivers are
idiots, no one gets me, I have too many things to do. but goodness, look
around you! what a wonder life is! if only we would take the time to
see it, to really appreciate it, and to applaud. this moment is a
ridiculously generous miracle. give it up, folks, for life." leo babauta
