So often we race through life, checking off to do lists… running from one meeting to the next… making sure our time is gainfully used… that it is easy to forget to take time out. A moment to reflect. A time to watch the world go by, instead of being the world that is going by. A moment to recharge.
I came across this video. Watching it made me feel happy and peaceful. I watched it twice. It gave me a moment to relax, a moment to reflect, a window into the beauty of the world around. It made me realise that I probably don’t take time out for just seeing the pleasure of the world around us. No – I take that back. The only time I regularly do this is when I run. That is (masked by my heavy Darth Vadar breathing!) my time for reflection.
It’s been snowing here recently, so several of my runs have been inside. Yuck! HGTV is no substitute for running outside. I love to see the trees, the ocean, the people walking their dogs… the world. Maybe we all recharge our batteries in different ways, but this is one of my favorite ways to disconnect. I hope you enjoy the video and take a little time out too.
