Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Sublime| Raymond Wadsworth

I love to watch the sunset. I'm from a small town and the sunsets there are incredible. I have a special place up in the mountains where I go to watch the sunset and try to better myself and find answers in my life. The other day, while I was as home, I went to my spot and just relaxed. I heard some movement in some brush about 15 or 20 yards from where I was sitting and a doe and a fawn came out of the brush. I watched as they played with each other. My presence didn't seem to bother them; nor theirs me. We watched the sunset together that day and I was so thankful for the world in which we live.

I still have that moment in the back of my mind and when things get crazy, I stop and reflect on the important things in life. Things such as family and friends, pets and animals in general. I think of my nephew laughing as I chase him around trying to get him out before he slides into home plate. Moments like these are priceless, and should mean the most to all of us.

I have a special spot in a tree I like to climb at home where I used to love to watch the sunrise. I remember one morning when it was lightly raining when I watched the sunrise from my spot. It's amazing how little changes like the rain or a doe and a fawn change a regular experience to make it truely unforgetable.
