Continuing to work on A Sense of Place this weekend, this morning I’ve been exploring the big picture – landscapes and such. I love the expansiveness and peacefulness of this image, from Lake Como in Italy.
As I write this post, one of my favorite songs, I Will Not Take These Things for Granted by Toad the Wet Sprocket, is playing on iTunes. The image and the song are both a reminder to be grateful for the beauty that exists in this world around us, this day. I’ll leave you with the song today.

One of my favorite songs, too! It was running through my head upon reading the title of your post. I’m glad you included the song itself, so I could get my fix now that it’s in my head. That album might be on the short list for top 5 desert island picks for me.
Agreed! It’s a great album.
When my husband got sick several years ago we learned not to take things for granted anymore. Learning to see and appreciate all of the special things that happen each day has truly been a gift. Lake Como looks beautiful.
Che bello! One of my favorite places. Such peace in this image!
