Wow has life seemed busy lately! I've been caught up in a whirlwind of activities that have kept us on the move for the last few weeks. From work travel to a fun Memorial weekend in the UP with friends, family time at the niece and nephew's sporting events, graduation open houses, the shelter's adopt-a-fest, and just being able to get the girls out for their daily exercise (and mine!), it seems like I've been on the move for three weeks straight.
And though today is going to be busy as well, with a full day of graduation open houses and some friend's going away party, I am thankful this morning to have two whole hours on this peaceful Saturday morning to sit and relax with the girls. So I thought while Peaches is outside on a squirrel hunt, Maddie is still in bed, and Imke is curled up at the other end of the couch snoring away, that I'd take a few minutes to just sit here and enjoy the moment. I'm going to ignore the buzzing Fit Bit telling me that I should get up and move and the load of laundry sitting in the dryer waiting to be folded or the other load waiting to be washed. I'm just going to listen to the sound of raindrops hitting the windows, the birds chirping, and the dogs snoring. I'm going to close my eyes, take a deep breath, and soak it all in because we all need time to refresh and recharge with no commitments and no to-do list.
Life gets busy for all of us, but it's important to remember that life is short and it is precious and that it is important to slow down and enjoy it! Some of the best moments of life are found sitting in quiet reflection with those you love best in the world.
Happy Saturday!
