Stepping back…

Some days I feel like such a fake.

I wake up and go thru my routine and continue through my day ignoring what is going on around me and in the world at large. Our world is literally on fire and is filled with uncertainty…yet we pretend it’s just another day. My day is filled with addressing the priorities of others and embracing the belief that those priorities are the only important thing in the moment simply return me home each night exhausted and spent. The days are sometimes…just a grind.

So this morning while I’m on the treadmill…this video pops up on my feed… and after watching it…I find tears are streaming down my face. What the heck! Where did that come from? So I watched it again…

What I realized was that my soul needs this and it thirsts for me to step back and recognize the simplicity and beauty of the simple things in my life and world…music, smiles and playfulness…things that the grind feeds on… and robs me of.

So today…I will.

I’ll take a moment to watch it again…and again and begin to embrace the life, the beauty and the goodness…not only of this life…but in the one that gave it to me.

Every breath you take…I’ll be watching you…
