Every so often I will be having a whirlwind of a day (who am I kidding, everyday is a whirlwind day!) and suddenly out of nowhere I will stop and be still. Something will catch my eye, or catch my attention, and the moment will whisper to me “this is exactly where I want to be right now.”
Today, let’s talk about finding beauty in the now. So what does this mean? I am so excited to tell you.
Some of the now moments are very obvious. When things seem to fall into place, everyone is content and happy, I know that now, at this moment, this is exactly where I wanted to be. But some moments aren’t as obvious, and those are the ones I love to find. Like when I am waiting in line at the grocery store, chaos is all around me and I am surrounded by stress and noise. Then out of the corner of my eye I see a child, working hard to put a quarter in the gumball machine. His eyes light up as the ball drops down, and in that moment I see nothing but happiness and excitement in his face. I embrace that moment, the now, and enjoy it.
That is what I love about the now. It is sort of like finding yourself in that moment you wish you were in when life is at its craziest. But there is no wishing, it is actually here. The moment may not last long, maybe just a few minutes before time moves us along again. But that is what makes the now so fabulous. For as silly as it sounds, it is like seeing a falling star. The moment is fast and fleeting, but darn is it beautiful.
These moments are happening to you each day, I promise. You just have to keep your eyes peeled for them. Because even though our entire lives are not perfect, make no mistake about it, there are moments in your life that surely are.
Enjoy your Monday everyone, especially your moments in the now.
