I've been running at full speed, not just this week or last, not even just this month or year, but for a very, very long time. So often I am caught up in the very solid thing in front of me and so I lose track of or completely miss incredible things just on the horizon.
This picture embodies exactly this. I was taking a quick picture of this shelf to give it a chance to be something useful or potentially awesome for someone else. I was thinking of the move and getting this shelf to where ever it was going next. I never noticed the beauty in this moment. The warm light in the store with twilight moving in and the sun setting gently in the background. The sky isn't ablaze in a magnitude of beautiful light and incredible colors. It is just softly doing what it does every night.
Tonight after a long, hard few weeks, I spent time with my beautiful, loving family for a very, very special 17 year old's birthday. (Love you so much girlie pop!🥳) I stepped outside of the go, go, go insanity of a move and enjoyed and celebrated incredible, wonderful people. Will it put me behind my schedule? Probably a bit. Will it make my very long, strenuous day tomorrow a little longer? Most likely. But was it worth every single second? ABSOLUTELY!
Take a moment once in awhile and look up. It's worth it ❤️
