Day 5

Find moments that take your breath away.

Life isn’t measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away. —Anonymous

We were traveling by car in the Canadian Rockies along the trans-Canadian highway near Lake Louise. Every time the car turned a corner in the highway, it was as if a new post card opened in front of us — spectacular scenery. At every new scene, everyone in the family would audibly gulp in a new mouthful of air to signify that we were all overcome by the awesome beauty, and in that moment, we knowingly voted in unison: “takes your breath away.” —Richard L.

Nature holds the elegance and grandeur of untold allure and charm that provides everyday opportunities for recognition, acknowledgment, and gratefulness. —Richard L. Weaver II
