Thinking…
Anyone else ever sit down to a scene like this whether made by your own or someone else’ hands, just a simple little scene like this and say, right now, all is right with my life.
It makes me think of the conversations around self-care and taking time, even if it’s only fifteen minutes, to give yourself a break from the daily grind of what I now enjoy call “adulting”. Sure, you might have coffee and eat a cookie everyday but do you enjoy it? Not just the sustenance derived from it’s consumption but the willful, true enjoyment of the texture, the flavor, the aroma of your treat. Not thinking about what you have to do after that moment or how many calories you’ll have to work off later at the gym. But the one true moment of pleasure from your favorite thing. How the heat from your cup warms your hand and your nose as you breath in deeply right before taking a sip.
The world is designed to be so busy now, especially if you live in the city the very beat of the day is quick, and I know it’s hard to take the time. But do it. Schedule fifteen or twenty minutes for yourself; make it an appointment that you can’t miss. Set your timer and commit to this life giving gift to yourself.
I hope you will.
Until next time…
