I'm going to cheat a bit here. I did not take that photo and it's not a sunny morning. But it is Friday and that is fabulous.
My daughter took the (unedited!) photo above earlier this week while her older brother drove them both to school. Almost every morning they are treated to a spectacular sunrise as they make the 40 minute trek lined with cotton fields, pecan groves, cow pastures, over water, through traffic and into another state As a mother, I am both thankful and terrified. This is the first year that I am not serving as the morning and afternoon bus driver.
Each day I await the message that can put my mind at ease: "There." is the one-word text message I get to let me know they have safely arrived at their destination.
Wouldn't it be great if we could all mindfully acknowledge when we get "there"? By that, I mean take the time to appreciate where you are in the moment. Whether it's enjoying the outdoors, immersing yourself in a hobby, or spending time with the ones you love, stop and breathe it all in. Make a conscious effort each day to bypass the clutter; resentment, self-imposed stress, and negativity (ours and others'). You can choose to navigate the direction of your day. You are behind the wheel.
Are you "there" yet?
Have a Fabulous Friday!
