As I write this I am sitting outside. No phone. No music. No communication with anyone and no technology of any kind. It is just me, my journal, my favorite pen, and the sounds of mother nature.
I can tell you this much; it is incredible.
The sun is shining and warm, yet there is a gentle breeze as the sun hides behind the clouds every few minutes to provide relief from its hot rays. The sky is bright blue and the birds are singing their favorite songs.
Today is your cliche` picture-perfect spring day.
As I sit and listen and observe, I am at peace. I am relaxed and I am calm. I now realize how important moments like this truly are. I now see how easily I take life for granted and get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
We need to stop getting caught up in the stress of each day and take a moment to appreciate just how wonderful life can be. It is in that moment that we will find tranquility. It is in that moment that we will find our inner peace.
When we allow ourselves to put everything down we are able to appreciate life, appreciate the moment, appreciate the now.
Close the laptop. Put the iPad away. Turn off the television. Lower your music. Put down your phone.
Stop trying to capture the moment. Instead; live in the moment and be present.
xoxo
