“Enjoy the simple things. Don’t over complicate everything. Take a breath. Find some stillness. Stop to smell the flowers. Listen to the birds. Sit in the sunshine.”
~ Akiroq Brost
Life seems so frantic sometimes. A friend of mine and I talk (or text) about being “rah-rah,” which has come to mean, I am so frazzled that I cannot even articulate the reasons why. So I was pleasantly surprised the other day when an unplanned early morning errand got me to my first appointment of the day several minutes early. I found myself spending time to make sure that my car was parked well enough to give my neighbor enough room, appreciating the greenery around me, and walking with a much more relaxed gait. It felt like a treat. Time is, after all, an incredible gift – even if it is to oneself – and I resolved to extend that kindness to myself more often.
