Today I am grateful for the silly, active squirrels running around in my backyard. I'm grateful for the way they entertain my dog through the window. I'm grateful for the way they gracefully leap from branch to branch using their tail for balance. I'm grateful for how funny they look with their cheeks stuffed and how persistent they are at bird feeders. I'm grateful for their cute little faces and fluffy tails. And I'm grateful for their sense of courage as they dart around to evade my dogs, leaping from tall branches, and grabbing one last nut.
It's the simple things that bring me gratitude as I eat breakfast and look out my window into the backyard. Wedding planning can get stressful and job demands can take over if I am not paying close attention, yet in my backyard life continues as usual. The squirrels play, the leaves grow back on the trees, the flowers bloom and it reminds me to recenter on what is important. The most important thing, love. So I pause to enjoy the moment.
When was the last time you paused to watch a squirrel play? How do you rebalance when you begin feeling overwhelmed or overworked? How can you reconnect to this calm, quiet place?
May your day be blessed with balance and may you take time to reconnect with the beauty around you. Have a beautiful day!
