Stop. Feel that? 
The warmth of the sun 
The breeze on your face 
Rain. It has its own unique smell 
Feels like tiny punches when it lands 
Wherever you are 
There is beauty and wonder about 
Even if seemingly insignificant 
A smell, a color, a sight, a feel 
There is always something to appreciate 
Like cool grass under bare feet
