Shine On
I've been doing alot of reflection and contemplating these days. I've been trying to be more mindful, taking more time to really be "in the moment". Cherishing and enjoying those rare, happy, blissful moments. It seems that even when we are doing something we enjoy or we are with people we love, our minds are still going in a million directions and we are constantly thinking - about what happens next, what happens tomorrow, what happens next Tuesday.
As I was getting lost in creating this little painting, I was reflecting on those happy moments. Those moments of pure joy that I will always treasure. I thought about my little Granddaughters...their giggles and their laughter at the silly things I say to them. The smell of fresh rain on the asphalt and breathing it in. The majesty of the rocky mountains and how it makes me feel like I'm "home" when I see them. Cuddling a newborn baby or seeing the look in his eye as you walk down the aisle. The sweetness of a little puppy, their eyes so innocent...and puppy breath! It's the little moments of pure joy where nothing else in the world matters at that moment. That's the stuff that memories are made of.
I'm hoping that this weekend, we can all "be in the moment". Cherish the sweetness, the laughter, the smells and the sounds. Maybe you can be a part of someone else's joy and laughter. I hope you take the time to be fully happy in the moment and Shine On!
