It happened on Saturday morning, while I walked around Bonclarken Lake across from my home here in the North Carolina mountains. It was a bright, brisk and beautiful spring morning, with an edge in the air I could almost taste and could certainly feel.

It started innocently enough with my walking with my Aussie/Border Collie mix dog, Lady, reciting my "purposeful prayer." But then it happened. Suddenly I found myself giving thanks to, well everything. To life, to love, to the love of my wife, Ann, and my daughter, Amber. To having a job where on a fairly regular basis I have the opportunity to make a significant difference in someone's life, and on more than a few rare occasions even a profound difference. To the incredibly beautiful, colorful, sensory enriched world in which we live.

The list went on and on, and the more I counted my blessings the more purposeful, passionate and playful I felt. What a way to start off the day. What a moment. What a life.

That's it from Flat Rock NC where it's another beautiful day in Paradise.
