For a Moment

Today I'm stealing a few seconds just to touch base and say hello in the midst of this crazy wonderful life. There's all sorts of things I SHOULD be doing, but I'm choosing to do something I WANT to do!

I don't have anything clever to say or a poem to share (I've only written one horrible poem in my life & that's only because it was required for school!), but I just want to remind everyone not to lose focus during the day to day. I know things get hectic and good intentions get lost among responsibilities or unavoidable changes in plans.

The dishes may pile up, or you may feel overwhelmed by all you're supposed to be getting accomplised each day. It may seem as though the "to-do" list gets longer instead of shorter, but fear not!

Take time to pause during your day and simply BE in that moment! Take a mental picture of everything around you, yes, even if it's cluttered or not what you imagined the picture of your life would be. Your life is beautiful.

Take a moment and find the beauty in something today. Be it a child's smile or hug, the clouds in the sky, or even just the blessing of sight with which to be able to read this blog. (I don't mean that to praise my blog by any means! Just your ability to see and understand it and the luxury, yes, luxury of internet access.)
