This morning on my drive to school the wind was blowing just enough to ruffle the leaves on the already changing trees. My first thought was that it looked like hands applauding - cheering the morning commuters on their way to schools and works. As I was driving, I passed a boy walking just under the applauding tree. He looked rather forlorn and an Eyore-type cloud seemed to hang over his head; he didn't notice the cheering trees. I wonder how much better all of our days would be, though, if we did pay attention to the beautiful nature surrounding us, encouraging us, cheering us on even during our roughest moments. We could all use a little more of that, I think. A little sunshine and a little applause to start our days. I'm thankful for that moment today - it's just what I needed!
