Living in AWE

Do you live in awe of the world around you? I saw this video link on facebook today. I love it. Sometimes I feel like I live life with my eyes half-closed, but there are times when I do have "AWE" moments.  I call them "Rose-Colored Glasses" moments. It is in those moments -- when even simple things become magical -- those are the moments that I feel the most alive, the most love, and the closest to God. Sometimes I have to create those moments myself, and sometimes they just happen, unexpectedly. I want to have more "AWE" in my life. I want to see the things around me and marvel at their glory. I want to feel my body full of life and excitement, just because I am alive. I mean, golly, we get one chance at this mortal life, we might as well fully glory in it! Right?! Right. Look around, open your eyes, and let your body freak-out in excitement at the world around you! That's right, go ahead and scream for joy! HOORAY!

Watch the video.
