Matt, you touch on some things that are worth noting. First and foremost, 'ask and it shall be given to you.' Hershel asked God for Wonder, and boy, did he get it. Second, present moment awareness. You can never truly appreciate the beauty and wonder of our world if you don't get out of your head and into the present moment. Meditate, it heals you in so many ways. Last, simplicity. Seeing through the eyes of a child is to see with innocence and simplicity. Combine that with present moment awareness and faith in God and you have a life overflowing with appreciation and gratitude. Well done.
I always like what you write, Matthew. Perhaps you are a friend of my ultimate teacher, Robert Saltzman, also now on Substack.
Thank you Carol. I do consider myself a friend of Robert's, though we have only chatted online.

Excellent advice. Matthew. Thank you.
