Hot and Fresh - mmmmm
Bright and Light
It is very easy to get caught up - in all of it - good, bad, and ugly - and to miss the beauty and gift of being present. I call it - the present of being present. There are many gifts that can open to us when we are grateful and attending to the world around us, the big moments, the small moments - all the moments. Sounds easy - but in practice it can be very difficult.
For me, being present can be difficult for so many reasons, fear, stress, anxiety, discomfort. . . just to name a few. When I am capable of being present, I recieve so much in return, some of it unexpected and beautiful. Today's pictures represent the small graces, a great cup of coffee, maybe with a friend, maybe a moment with yourself and your thoughts, the twinkle of lights, bright and vivid, unexpected yet so pleasing. Both giving so many reasons to smile, pause and be thankful.
Here is to the present of being present.
