Tonight, out of the blue, my 4 year old looked outside and said, "Wow, it's such a beautiful world right now!" They way she said it was so heartfelt. It caused me to pause and take a moment to look around at the world and see just how right she was. It really is a beautiful world right now. The sun was shining, the air felt clean and warm. I breathed in and it sent a wonderful, serene feeling throughout me. It took a 4 year old to get me to stop and take the time to even notice it all. I am so glad that she did.
I tend to go through each day in a rush. I am constantly thinking of all the things I need to get done. My mind rarely takes a rest. But today, thanks to my wonderful daughter, I let my mind rest for that moment. Let my mind take in the beautiful world that surrounds us.
