Blessing on Trees

At times a person gets disenchanted with life because they lose appreciation for daily kindness from above. Thus the Torah enjoins us to say the proper blessing on things we may take for granted, like on food, aromas, Mitzvas, the moon (once a month), on trees (once a year) and on the sun (once every 28 years).
