Have you ever had one of those days where you look around and just realize that there is magic happening all around you?
As I was walking through my school’s campus the other day I realized that there are people who work behind the scenes to make everything perfect. The night before I had spent almost 45 minutes raking leaves off of my driveway and sidewalk because a rain had made most of the leaves fall off the tree in front of my house. When I got to school the next morning, I didn’t realize it first, but soon noticed that someone had cleaned up every single walking path on my campus. It was like magic! When I looked around, I could see that there were leaves on the grassy areas, but not on the walking paths. That’s when I began thinking about all of the things we take for granted daily. Trash cans being emptied, the lights in the quad coming on when it gets dark, toilet paper on the roll no matter how many students have been in the bathroom that day.. The list is sooooooo long. Perhaps this holiday season, as we think about all of the things on our wishlist, we can counter those thoughts with gratitude for all of the things we have, but just don’t take the time to recognize. We have so so much to be thankful for. This year, there are an infinite number of unsung heroes behind the scenes that we can recognize, not with wrapped gifts, but with simple words. Thank You!!
