the seven wonders of the world

so i found this random christmas letter the other day and it had on it. this letter that is posted on the side and it really impacted me. i don't actually know if it was true...but it was different and it was something that made me think twice. What are my seven wonders of the world??? are they just things, like beautiful building, or a really long river through south america. well i have never really travelled anywhere to see big buildings or long jungle like rivers. but i can say that i have found my seven wonders of the world right here...
this morning i woke up it was beautiful "blue-bird" day. clear blue skis a nice temperature of -10 and a little bit of frost on the windows. the sun reflected off of the hudson bay mountain like it should be every morning. after church, i decided to take amanda's dog, penelope for a run. well it was a crazy roller coaster ride. to try take in the beauty of the day when you have a puppy pulling you down a hill can get pretty ruff. but on the way back up... it took a moment, a breath, a simple small prayer to thank god for this absolutly amazing day that he had gaven me and that i had the privelge to take it all in. this ...this paridise called smithers is one of my seven wonders of the world...
then there are the wonders that we take advantage of everyday... to breath, to smell, to taste, to see, to touch, and to live!
if i had an eighth wonder of the world...it'd have to be another place!!! Vancouver Island... its like one of the most beautiful places ever. the ocean, the city (that is different from every other city), and the skies.
this right here. is me living my life. how you spend your days is how you spend your life. enjoy your seven wonders of the world.
