Manic Monday Challenge - slow it down 🫶

My favorite time of the day is the

quiet of the early morning.... just before the sun comes up and the hustle and bustle of the day begins....

I like to pretend the whole world is still asleep and peacefully dreaming. And for a short time, I have nowhere to be and no responsibilities except simply existing.

We spend so much of our lives rushing from one thing to the next, eyes fixed on a screen, always thinking about what's next or our never ending to-do list and we often fail to see the magic that's right in front of us.

An entire world is going on around us! A beautiful world.

Tiny dew drops suspended on silk.

The way the morning light catches a single thread.

A true masterpiece most people will walk past without ever seeing or appreciating.

I think that's what Bilbo meant when he said, "It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life." Simple things really do bring the most joy. And we each have our part to play in the universe. Some as tiny as a spider building his web. Others as big as the moon, endlessly pulling the waves to the shore.

No amount of technology, fame, fortune or social media likes could ever really make your soul feel the way all of Earth's natural treasures do. You'll never convince me otherwise.

We are so small. A tiny fleck in the universe. Our time here feels like the blink of an eye. There is so much to see and experience! We need to soak in as much as we can before our time is through.

So, today, I hope we all slow down a little - put our phones down, look around....and remember that there are so many extraordinary things all around us - happening right here, right now! Don't miss out 💕
