I was recently driving on traffic-clogged streets during a snowstorm on my way to pick up my daughter. I was feeling a bit sorry for myself because I was embarking on two hours of driving to shuttle her from one friend’s to another’s and then home. I decided to think about all the wonderful things I was doing, including driving a beautiful hybrid vehicle, picking up my wonderful daughter and having freedom to go where I wanted. Just then a man in an open convertible drove by with a Christmas tree in the passenger side! I rolled down my window and called, “Nice tree!” He laughed and said he was thinking about leaving it right where it was.
I wonder how it would feel if we reached out to each other to celebrate what is great about each moment, especially when it may not be obvious?
*Diane is a dear friend of ours and we are honored to share her mindful moment with you. We look forward to sharing moments from other dear friends in the future. You are all invited to play! Thank you, Diane!
