it isn't always a rat race

had a revelation today...guess you could call it that.

in the middle of prepping some things for work this evening, i stopped for a few minutes and walked around the building. there were all kinds of things going on--things being cleaned and set up, people practicing and decorating, last minute touches being added here and there.

i have done my best to pace getting things ready for today--not leaving everything to the last minute. in general, i like to think ahead, figure out what can get done early and efficiently and enjoy the run to the finish line. i've enjoyed today--i wasn't crazy or harried or overwhelmed. i was just doing the things that could only be done today. that afforded me time for my little walk.

that walk made me think...how much do we miss because we are running around, trying to get everything we think needs to be done at this moment instead of pulling back, pacing ourselves through life, and enjoying the journey?

there are times when i am missing things all around because i have things right in front of my face and i am dealing with my consequences for not thinking ahead...but not today. i'm enjoying today.

hope you are enjoying the journey today too.
