Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.

I am always planning ahead, it is a blessing and a curse. It makes everything move forward and yet, I often miss the very things that are right in front of me, because I am moving at mach speed. The last few days I have very purposely slowed down….it has been amazing, the beautiful gifts that were right in front of me and the abundance of joy captured. My son catching a fish, a run with my children, a smile from my husband and our grown children jumping on our bed.

Nothing extraordinary but all magnificent, and as I write this I wonder what else have I missed? Since I never look back and only ahead, I am trying to redirect my gaze….remembering to focus on the beauty that is right in front of me.
