Natural Beauty

I was at our local farmer's market last night and watching my son play with a couple kids. They were using their imagination and pretending to be a circus act. Oh to be young and so carefree!

 I took this moment to be aware of my surroundings. I used all of my senses. I closed my eyes and felt the sun's warmth soaking into my skin. I could feel the light breeze blowing through my hair and I felt uplifted. I tasted the cool water on my lips as I drank my water and renewed my body. I could smell the flowers, the homemade food, and vegetables surrounding me. It made my tummy hungry. I listened to the laughter of the children and the chirping of the birds. All of this together made me smile. I felt so grateful that I get to live in such a wonderful place. I am glad that I made myself slow down and took the time to experience the life.  I love moments like this because it makes me feel like I am healing from the natural beauty that surrounds me.
