As I rub sleep from my eyes this morning and look around, I am reminded that beauty is all around me in each moment, if I choose to see it. I look at my healthy, sweet dogs as they wag their tails. I look at my husband's smiling face and smell the eggs cooking. I see the many shades of green outside from all the rain and I see the gap in the tree line from last night's little challenge. We have a choice in what we pay attention to in each moment. When we pay attention to something, we give energy to it. We tell the Universe that is what we want by focusing on it. There can be challenges that show up every day, and some days every hour, but we do not have to focus on them. There are always a hundred or even million other things to focus on. This does not mean we ignore or don't take care of the things that need done. We spent two hours last night helping the neighbor cut the tree that had fallen, from the roof his home. But we all focused on the positive; that no one was hurt and that the house sustained very little damage. We focused on community and helping each other, joking about the firewood we now had to enjoy. Nothing can change what happened but we have the choice in how we let it affect us and how we choose to focus our attention.
I'm grateful for a good community. I'm grateful for the stability of the trees that are standing. I'm grateful for the rain that nourishes and the breaks in rain to allow the earth to dry out a little. I'm grateful for an amazing family. I'm grateful for a sweet husband who got up this morning just because I had to and heated me some breakfast. I'm grateful to know that it is going to be a beautiful day! And I'm grateful for the many blessings in my life that make it easy to focus on the beauty in this moment. I am truly blessed and so grateful!
What will you choose to pay attention to today? What beauty can be found? May today bless you with with an awareness of the good all around you. May you see beauty and find gratitude in each moment. Have a beautiful day!
